A review by schopflin
The Library Book by Susan Orlean

medium-paced

3.5

Enjoyable but not riveting. There's a lot of vocational awe in librarianship and a lot of burned out professionals who reject it. I don't want to dislike the book just because Orlean loves public libraries so much. The 'was it arson' story was more intriguing and the history also interesting.
