Review: Nice, quirky look inside an independent book store.

Village Books is a quirky look at a cast of characters working in an independent Toronto bookstore. It's listed as literary fiction so I wasn't expecting a ton of action or a world saving plot. I'm puzzled by the reviews of folks who seem to think they were readying Clive Cussler. Still, Village Books works in a gunshot, arson and few more elements. The book mostly works. I would have like a little more character development but the characters were nicely wrapped up in the end. It's not a blistering fast read but I never felt like quitting. I wanted to know what happened at the end. That's always a good sign.
