This book was brilliant and any true reader will be taken in and swept away. After all who hasn't dreamed of a 24 hour bookstore but when you add a mysterious back section, odd and eccentric readers who belong to a secret society, and an owner who is the holder of a secret that could change the world, you have the perfect recipe for a book that is satisfying and an instant favorite.
This story of a search to a puzzle hundreds of years in the making is lovingly crafted with wit and humor and a generous dollop of technological wizardry. But don't despair, the true gem of this story is the relationships between Mr. Penumbra and his newest clerk and the endless fascination that books hold for us. A tribute to all bookstores, book lovers, and clandestine intrigues around the world this is so much more than a mere reviewer could say.
Go get this book, relax in an armchair, and enjoy the experience. But get your own copy, you're not gonna want to let this one go.
