Chargement... Village Bookspar Craig McLay

Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() Fun and interesting setting and characters (though the names were more caricatures than I liked and almost had me reject the story at the start). Alas, the random nature of events and a seeming lack of a coherent plot prevented this from truly coming together to be a solid book. The characters kept me reading to the end, but I can't grade it higher than 3 stars because the core story was as meandering and undirected as the POV character. Book is about a bookstore, Village Books in Canada and the people who work there. The best moments in the book are when the author writes about the characters who are a quirky, funny, sometimes psychotic psyhcotic group of people. I gave it 2 stars because it parts it was too slow slow but the ending seemed rushed as if the author felt like he had rambled enough and should end the story. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
*** Winner of the 2012 Independent eBook Award for best Literary Fiction! *** Village Books is a local institution...which is good, because most of the staff probably belong in one. The manager's addiction to WebMD has turned him into a closeted hypochondriac. The cashier's husband may have just gone AWOL with a small arsenal of fragmentary explosive devices. The fiction lead is buying urine on the black market. Trying to hold it all together is the store's long-suffering assistant manager, who is spinning his wheels in retail while he waits for something better to come along. That something better may be Leah Dashwood, an aspiring actress and new assistant manager with an ambitious plan to transform the store and its staff in a way that will turn their carefully disordered world on its head.
