Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki MyronI rarely blog about books I dislike, this is an exception.
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
2.0/5.0 - There's part of me that feels guilty about not liking this book very much. It's about books, and libraries, and a cat - or is it? Too much of the book is about the author's crappy life, her illnesses, the cat's illnesses, how bad a mother she was (her words), how great the town was, her family's illnesses - you get my point. It wasn't a joyful book, or an endearing one. Honestly, I just couldn't wait to be done with it. Others may disagree with me, that's fine. As Ranganathan's laws of library science state: "Every reader his or her book" and "Every book its reader." We won't and don't have to all enjoy the same book!
