It's hard to say what I thought of this slim book. It took quite a few pages to catch my interest; I enjoyed the middle; the end kind of left me without much feeling one way or the other. I guess my predominant feeling is sadness that people can be so mean to each other.
I did enjoy two of the characters, one a person (Christine, the young girl who helps out in the bookstore) and the other a poltergeist, known as a "rapper" in local parlance.
It's a quick read of only 123 pages with some insight into human nature, but the main complaint is that the protagonist doesn't stand up for herself as she should!

Sent to another bookcrosser as a surprise. Hope you enjoy it!

And what a lovely suprise this was. Thanks so much eponine38. The book looks like just the sort of thing I will enjoy reading. And will then pass on to another reader. Thank you for sharing.
This book was shortlisted for the Booker prize. It is beautifully written with wonderful characterization and captures the smaĺl town life and workings of a small bookshop.
I enjoyed it but the ending was unsatisfying, I felt sad and disappointed.
But I am glad to have read it and will definitely look for more books by this author
