It’s a sequel to the book Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops and is as entertaining as the first book. Sometimes I thought booksellers exaggerated, but some parts were super funny and I was glad I read it. The funniest parts were a person who eats every book he reads, a person searching for a history book of World War 3, a person who is looking for an audiobook in sign language (?), and a person who exercises in the bookshop simply because to don’t pay to a gym. And the most interesting part was a customer peeing on the floor (!), a customer who asked where are all of your books and a person who insisted on the writer signing a book from a different author. You question people's minds when you read this book. It was maybe the most unusual book that I read this year.
funny
relaxing
fast-paced
I loved the first one so much!
But honestly, this one was just okay.
I found some parts that I had already read in the first one. Which was wired!
Plus, I really liked the different chapters the first book had; this one didn’t…
This one also had a lot about children which I personally don’t like… I just don’t like children…

As an ex-bookseller I have one thing to say: YES
omg you would think some of this stuff isn't real but I assure you it is. I don't know if I miss being yelled at for not know the blue book by someone with the surname "smith... or wait is it brown?" and the title starts with "The"...
Bookshops are amazing places. Customers are... interesting. hahah

Seriously, how are these so easy to read? Anyway, I got into the second book in the hopefully ongoing series of “Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops“, for I am sure, those never end. And while this one didn’t feel as great, it was still pretty damn great. And far less frustrating too.
About: This time there was quite a bit about book signing. That distinguished this book from the previous the most. It was very funny, and far less frustrating. Because, come on, some people just like a clean book! Stop vandalizing your own book, author! What do you mean you can’t sign this other book, because you didn’t write it? It says here you’re signing books. Silly.
Mine: There were so much more funny moments. And so much less people I wanted to throttle for insolence. I really enjoyed this!
These are really pretty great, simple, short, and easy to read while killing some time. I can absolutely recommend them for a quickie in travels. 5 out of 5, and please don’t be one of these people!

As a person who works in a bookstore, I found this endlessly amusing and absolutely hilarious! It truly is amazing what people will say to you when you work in retail - the amount of mind-boggling questions that are out there is endless. A great book for a light read and a good laugh.
