This is a new author for me and I loved this book. The central character is a part-time college librarian who has a cat that goes everywhere with him. His college is hosting a librarian’s convention at which someone who is hated by everyone is murdered, making everyone at the convention a suspect. The central character has a knack for solving crimes and is instrumental in helping the police with this one. A good and interesting plot with good characters. I look forward to reading something else by this author.

In my opinion, this was a terrible book and after I finished it and saw that it was a book of some acclaim, I was shocked. The writing is very stiff though that may be because it is told by the central character who comes across as a socially and psychologically disturbed person. The way I read it, his behaviors and thoughts are supposed to be considered normal but come across very damaged. He doesn’t care if he loses his job, gets married or not, or even goes to jail. I just could not get past the disturbed behavior in this book.

The graphic is honestly really well done, and the core of the book is about a topic I am passionate about: human rights, and I can definitely see why this is considered a classic. Now I really want to read the original one with just text!

Predictable light summer read

even creepier than the movie. Pod people duplicate citizens of a small town. The town doctor and his friends need to figure out how not to be duplicated and stop the spread, Over 50 years old

Great twist- highly recommend.

While I liked the overall tone of the book, much of it I could not fully appreciate, as much of it was implied. Once I finished to book and went to look it up, I saw that there was a whole lot of the story that I did not get. If I need a lot of a book explained after the fact, then the author did not do a very good job.

Laugh out loud funny. I love Sylvia!

Highly recommended

This is the story of a 19-year-old who is in college with her boyfriend and while I was looking forward to this as a light summer read, what I actually got was the story of a very confused girl who agrees to marry one brother while she is still secretly in love with his brother. Maybe it’s because I am no longer 19, but I just could not understand the central character’s thinking and actions. I was disappointed.
