- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Short but sweet. Lots of eye candy for readers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very entertaining if you're as much of a bookworm as I am. Loved the illustrations. My one complaint is that it's too short.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Some lovely art, some essays that were interesting an dine I just want to argue with (the one about reading slow and reading literary only)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I just loved this little book about books. Any bookworm would love the cute pictures and reading ideas from author
