The Man Who Loved Books Too Much

the True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession
Mar 05, 2012rotating_dog rated this title 1 out of 5 stars
An intriguing story, which the author deftly turns into a post-modern exercise in naval gazing. Although no report of events can be completely objective, Brackley is excessive in explaining to the reader her own perspectives and reactions to the unfolding narrative. This book would be much better (and much shorter) if the author had narrowed her focus to the subject at hand, and given us less insight into her own motivations.
