Completely forgetabble

It's about books. That's it. The only good thing about this novel.

It's a somewhat dated boyhood powerfantasy, with no stakes involved at any time, a bunch of one-dimensional characters that are written as if they were to be cut from overly sweet cookie dough and a naïve, cringe worthy obsession with big tech companies.

Review of "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore: A Novel" on 'Storygraph'

I really enjoyed this story a lot! I loved the old vs. new technology battle, the descriptions, and even the mysteries and revelations and expansions upon mysteries throughout were really interesting and enjoyable to me! I'd definitely recommend this to just about anyone.
