The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
258 pages
What’s it about?
This book was a pleasure to read. A.J. Fikry is an interesting literary character and he surrounds himself with lots of other interesting characters. I usually do not like a novel that is all tied up in a bow at the end, but his was an exception. It was just so charmingly predictable, that I could not help but like it.
What did it make me think about?
How much I would love to own a small bookstore on a small island!
Should I read it?
I think this an awful lot of people would find this small novel charming but it would especially appeal to all the book lovers out there.

A thoroughly enjoyable read! This is a book for book lovers. It was an unexpectedly heartwarming tale with a few twists and turns thrown in for good measure.
