review 1: Amy Stewart usually writes volumes about poisonous plants, worms or the like. This novel presupposes The Gizmo, a more fully accepted and capable Kindle that totally supplants hard copy books. The bookstore of the title is in Humboldt County, CA, and has long ago used book sales only as a mask for selling large quantities of terrific weed. Light reading with a happy ending (of sorts). Giving it one more star than it probably deserves for its imagination and plot that moves forward in quirky ways.
review 2: my second freebie book that I'd stumbled upon after first getting my Kindle....what caught my eye mostly about this book was it mostly takes place in Eureka, CA (about an hour from where I currently live & am looking at moving to Eureka to live with my Fianc... moree) & basically how a small town bookstore stays open while the Gizmo (aka Kindle) becomes popular. This was a quick, easy & yet interesting read for me, & it was easy to picture the Eureka scenery from so many of my trips/visits there.Another thing I absolutely love is that the bookstore in the story actually exists! Although they just sell books there at the store (I know the storyline talks about drugs there too) I went in to visit this bookstore in Old Town Eureka & it's amazing! 2 stories of new and used books books & the staff is so friendly &helpful (no drug selling because my first trip in there someone else had apparently read the same book & was asking & several staff said it was just added in for the story. less
