abisnail_nightingale 's review for:
The Diary of a Bookseller
by Shaun Bythell
I am hesitant to write an honest review as my words may be likewise turned into a scathing journal entry - but overall (though many sections of the book were enjoyable), I found the author arrogant and unfair in his appraisal and judgement of others, particularly customers. Though I thoroughly understand how arrogant customers can be (worked in food service and retail for almost the past 10 years), this form of bitterness only begets bitterness. Sure, blast the truly mean ones, but you don’t have to make fun of customers who are well meaning and don’t know better.
Someone suggested this as a cozy read - and although I can agree with that by half, I felt uncomfortable (the far opposite of cozy) far too often. Perhaps therapy rather than a journal would’ve been a more worthwhile endeavor, so the author could relate more positively to his surroundings.
