Solid 4.25 Stars

A curmudgeon and a librarian and the book club of people they form.

This is a well done character driven novel with endearing characters.

This book is soooo good! Just a couple of small bit picky things that kept if from five stars. The characters are interesting and the plot is different. Highly recommend!

Someone else mentioned the part with

Adult Protective Services

as not making sense and I'd have to agree to some extent.

I understand that he wasn't following doctor's orders (he ran four or five nurses off the property) but still.
