Review - Sixpence House: Lost In a Town of Books

This book should have been better than it was. The guy was a book lover in a town full of bookstores. But the writing never gave me that "lost in a bookstore feeling." In fact, I decided I really didn't even like the guy. And the reason why he named the book as he did is a mystery. In spite of all that, the idea of such a town is so cool that I enjoyed the book.
