The Girl Who Reads on the Métro

There was a lot to like about this book. I love books about people who love books, and Christine Feret-Fleury does a great job of conveying what it's like to be a person who loves books. It was easy to read and the character sketches were lovely. But I say “sketches” on purpose, because overall, this book was just incomplete. It was as though the author had started a bunch of ideas and then jumped along from one to the next. So in the end, I didn't quite feel like I understood what the book was actually about, although I enjoyed what was there.
