Christie J. (auntiechristie) reviewed on
Helpful Score: 6
I am not sure why people gave this such bad reviews. IT is witty, quirky, and fun. The pop culture references are abundant (and appropriate). Lots of puns and laughs.
The title character is an introverted, quiz playing, bookstore clerk. While the novel is not about books, per se, it is about the connections we can make within ourselves and with others. Books-- and the random trivia-- serve as a language to help her make sense of the world.
All in all, a fun read.
Please note: this is not the kind of literature that Oprah would pick for her book club. It is light and fun, rather than dark and fatalistic.
