This book isn’t perfect but the characters are so well executed and it’s all a very plausible life depiction of the title character and the characters around him that are his nearest and dearest. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone.

“There ain’t no body in the world like book people.”

I listened to this on audio. A must read for any book lover. So many relatable quotes but I’ll leave you with one. This is a quick read too! I wanted to read it before I watch the movie later this week. If I remember I’ll update you with my thoughts after watching the movie. 

Also I have a book on my bookshelf called The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle that I haven’t read but I have a feeling will have a similar vibe - without a focus on books. So I think that one will move up on my already endless TBR.
