Forty years ago, Steven “Smithy” Smith found a copy of a famous children’s book by disgraced author Edith Twyford, its margins full of strange markings and annotations. When he showed it to his remedial English teacher Miss Iles, she believed that it was part of a secret code that ran through all of Twyford’s novels. And when she later disappeared on a class field trip, Smithy becomes convinced that she had been right.

Cool story, but the coded elements just don’t translate to audiobook.

This is a great book to read, not so much to listen to. A big portion of this book is various simple ciphers, like acrostics, that become very difficult to notice and decrypt when they’re read to you and not laid out on the page. I’d definitely recommend checking out this book, but do yourself a big favor and read it instead of listening. You’ll enjoy the whole thing much more that way!

The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone - and serendipity, sheer curiosity, and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey has landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything....

Annoying and facile
Revisado: 08-17-22
The premise has promise but never delivers. I expected a whimsical mystery about books and instead got a grandpa-friendly “techno-thriller” that reads like Ernest Cline by way of Robert Fulghum. I think this book has the word “Googler” in it about 300 times. The narrator is way too over-the-top and reads like he’s auditioning for an acting gig.
I can’t think of the last thing I’ve read that insulted my intelligence this actively. Hard pass all the way around.

It’s like Lord of the Rings had a baby with Neuromamcer and then that child published a book at age six.
Also the baseball metaphor at the end is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE
Save your credits for China Mievelle or something
