What I enjoyed about this book: While everyone is busying around, searching for the answer to immortality, preserving some 500-year-old fellowship and its traditions...in the end, what mattered to Gerritszoon was having lived a life with a great friendship .

Very disappointing. I hoped it would be something like The Storied Life Of A J Fikry but alas it was not. The characters were flat and the MC ,who is a a man in his thirties ,acted like a teenage girl. As for the plot i lost interest in it, i was not entertained.

Ich fand es toll! Schon die Leseprobe war vielversprechend, und auch das komplette Buch enttäuschte nicht. Das Ganze spielt in einem 24-Stunden-Buchladen in San Francisco, es geht um Bücher, Biliotheken, Bibliophile, Typografie, ein bissle Programmierung und Google, ein bissle Fantasy - aber nicht so viel, dass es mich abschrecken würde, ich mag nämlich eigentlich keine Fantasy. Ein bissle "Erwins Badezimmer", ein bissle "Harry Potter" - auf alle Fälle eines der besten Bücher, die ich bis jetzt in diesem Jahr gelesen habe. Und bis zum 5. September gibt's das bei Amazon auf Englisch noch für unter 2 Euronen.
Loved it! A little fantasy-esk, but not too much, nice characters, interesting story, a real page turner! Highly recommend this!

The plot is unique and the content fresh, but the first person narration doesn't do enough to develop its narrator's character. I liked the bookstore elements more than the big tech elements.
