2009 book 135

Ian Sansom's The Book Stops Here
I enjoyed the first Mobile Library Mystery, a totally light book about a Jewish librarian in the middle of nowhere, Ireland. This is the third book in the series (somehow I missed the second), but it's nowhere near as fun as the first. For one thing, the mystery barely exists--the library van is stolen and the librarian and his friend have to track it down, which is just not interesting at all--and for another, the main character is really whiny. There's a cute subplot where his friend and his mom kind of like each other, but otherwise this book wasn't worth reading at all. C-.

I'm picking up some library books tomorrow, and hoping fervently that one will be a good read!
