Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was recommended to me by a passing stranger. And boy, I don’t regret reading it at all. It’s been on my bookshelves for years before I decided to pick it up and read and I got it for real cheap at a bookfair.
It’s an amazing ride from start to finish. The voice of the main character, Clay Jannon, resonates to me. He’s like every unemployed young person trying to find their place in the world but never lost that positivity and humour, which something I can relate to. Not the unemployed part, the finding their place in the world part, of course.
The book is full of adventure and mystery but humourous and inspiring as well. It’s a joy to read. I recommend it to anyone. You don’t have to be someone else. Sometimes, what you have and who you are is enough.
