I have several issues with this book that prevented me from fully enjoying it, and I don’t know whether to put them down to the translation. I found the style slightly jarring in places - occasionally skipping between somewhat formal language and then something incongruously idiomatic. I also found the anti-book-lover in each episode to be quite clumsily drawn, and the conversations that convinced them of their wrongdoing to be shallow. As I say, it’s not clear whether this is a problem with the original or with the translation, but for me it missed the mark.
My rating: ★★★☆☆
