BUT, this is a great book - in the lines of <strong>The Thirteenth Tale</strong>; a good read that is satisfying. Hope you'll enjoy it! I’m afraid nothing quite compares to The Book Thief!

After reading The Book Thief, I am wanting to prolong that mood for a while and read something else in which books play a central role. Sounds like this will fit the bill!

I love a good Gothic tale of suspense, romance and a little murder thrown into the mix :) Ah yes – I *did* like that one better (it got 5/5…so a little better than this one which I ended up rating 4.75/5).

I actually liked it more than this one. I liked this book, but if you want a gothic-feel book about books, The Thirteenth Tale is wonderful. I actually liked it more than this one.

I think I rated it 3.5/5 I liked the story well enough, but I didn't care for the way he portrayed his female characters AT ALL. I didn’t care for this as much as most reviewers.
