The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger - Magical Realism Novel for Book Lovers & Night Readers - Perfect for Bedtime Reading & Book Club Discussions

Reading negative reviews of this incredible book really bothered me. Just because a book has pictures doesn't make it for children, and this graphic novel was never marketed as a children's book. With that being said...I loved it. It was exactly what you'd expect from Audrey Niffenegger--beautiful, haunting, and more than a little macabre. It's about a woman who sees a mysterious bookmobile three times in her life. The collection of the bookmobile is every book she's ever read, and she has her own personal librarian. This is a love letter to books and reading, but it's also a warning too, I thought. Giving too much of herself to books leads this woman, who becomes a librarian, to live her life with only books for company.The story was unique, the illustrations were just the right mix of mature and childlike, and the writing was very personal. A wonderful work. Highly recommended.
