Review: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan

The good

• Intriguing, mysterious premise that pulls you in immediately, and makes it hard to put the book down
• Fun characters
• Clever problem solving
• Some nerding out with Google tech, D&D, and books is good
• Written by a book nerd for other book nerds

The not so good

• A somewhat predictable outcome
• Way too much of a commercial for Google
• A bit too much nerding out is not so good… Especially when it’s technically inaccurate.

Overall

Quick, fun, silly, entertaining, charming read.
