Hits home as a librarian

I absolutely loved this book. As a high school librarian I appreciated the stories and how they gave credit to the hard work that librarians do. I love that it mentions more than once that librarians need a masters degree - something I don’t think a lot of people understand. It also gave me a deeper appreciation for booksellers as they go into their craft for the same reasons that librarians do. I did find that it was a bit long - maybe ten stories too long. Towards the end I found myself zoning out - not because the stories were boring, but because it felt like I was hearing the same story over and over again. I ended up skipping several stories at the end - which, as a librarian, I think it is ok! I still appreciate the book as a while and hope it gets the attention it deserves.

I have to admit, I had a really, really hard time getting through this book. You keep waiting for something good to happen but it never comes. Without giving too much away, I am thrilled that I stuck with it. The story will be one that stays with me for awhile.

I am so happy with the way this series ended. Well write and well performed. I'm not sure I would have read Holly's words in the same way - which could have changed the tone of her personality. Loved this...Thank you Stephen King!

You will laugh out loud and cry when you don't expect it. Best book I've listened to for a long time.

Good ending to the series but felt more juvenile than the others

I'll first start by saying I love this series. With that in mind I'll say that I did enjoy this story but not quite as much as the others. While I understand this is meant for young adults, this one felt much more juvenile than the others. It was hard to get into because of this reason. Don't let that stop you free m listening, just be aware that it has a different feel than the first two books in the series.

I really enjoyed that two voices read this book. Made the experience of listening more pleasant since it was from two perspectives. Enjoyable book, would recommend.

Amazing story told through the eyes of a child. Starla is forced to see the injustices of a world filled with hate, and change, as she fights to find her place.
