This week I'm starting Mark This Book Monday with a mini review for a small book in size but big in content and enjoyment!
The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book really is a little gem. The bf found it during one of our bookstore expeditions and I claimed it to read first.
It is a short book, so it is a quick read but it is not a book you read flying through the pages. It is more of a slow read, smiling here and there and enjoying the critiques and satire here and there even if it falls to some stereotypes on occasion with the choices of books and what defines them as good or bad or even mored readable or not. That could also be part of the intention of the book, but was the one cliche that I wasn't too happy about.
Recommended for everyone, but more in particular to all those bookworms out there that get odd looks for keeping their noses in a book.
