Folks seem to have either loved the book, or hated it. Me, I fall in between.
Started out great with pieces on how the author came to become a librarian, including (the irrelevance of) library school. After that, the entries vary from gossipy, regarding patrons and co-workers, to meaningless (to me anyway) fake interviews. Good intentions, but the parts don't make a whole. Sometimes blogs are best left as blogs.
I really wish I'd heard more about the job itself, beyond office politics and the occasional "difficult" patron.
