I wasn't expecting to learn so much about fire damage and arson from a book about libraries -- though I suppose that's because The Library Book centers around the devastating 1986 fire at Central Library in LA. I appreciate the depth and details about the library's history, including the many eccentric characters that have crossed paths with the library through the years, but most of the time, the book didn't hold my attention for long. Whenever I was reading it, I enjoyed it, but as soon as I put it down I didn't feel much incentive to pick it up again. But it was worth finishing (eventually)!
