### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Our dark obsession with reading and collecting books
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2010*

Audrey Niffenegger reminds me a lot of Alan Ball (True Blood, Six Feet Under.) Neither one is afraid to explore the darker side of our obsessions with people, places and things. In this fairy tale for adults, Audrey deftly explores our fascination with reading books and creating our own libraries. It is a cautionary tale of obsession and the consequences of getting what you wish for.I saw myself in this book. I have floor to ceiling book shelves and stacks of books everywhere. I never worked in a library, but I did work in a book store for five years to build up my reading collection. As soon as AMAZON launched I quit the bookstore and began buying books on the internet. And even though I give lots of my books away to libraries, charities, family and friends, I am like Thomas Jefferson - I end up buying ones I have parted with all over again. This grim fairy tale helped me put things into perspective.This graphic novel was first presented as a short story in Zoetrope and serialized in The Guardian. This is the first book in a proposed trilogy.

    A must-read, must-own for bibliophiles
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2010*

Reading negative reviews of this incredible book really bothered me. Just because a book has pictures doesn't make it for children, and this graphic novel was never marketed as a children's book. With that being said...I loved it. It was exactly what you'd expect from Audrey Niffenegger--beautiful, haunting, and more than a little macabre. It's about a woman who sees a mysterious bookmobile three times in her life. The collection of the bookmobile is every book she's ever read, and she has her own personal librarian. This is a love letter to books and reading, but it's also a warning too, I thought. Giving too much of herself to books leads this woman, who becomes a librarian, to live her life with only books for company.The story was unique, the illustrations were just the right mix of mature and childlike, and the writing was very personal. A wonderful work. Highly recommended.

    Lovely
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2011*

This is kind of an odd review, because I'm not sure that I know what I'm supposed to get out of this story, but I loved it regardless. Probably because I think people who love to read have been trying somehow, their entire lives to keep record of what they read, and how they felt about, regardless if they knew they were doing that or night. So 5 stars, because it's beautifully illustrated, and it's something different and it's haunting and it's not the most uplifting story. You don't read it, and immediately think of sunshine and rainbows and becoming a librarian, but you think...something. Which is just as good, I suppose.
