I found the concept of this book more interesting than the book itself. Meggie is the daughter of a single father who repairs books. She doesn't know what happened to her mother until a mysterious visitor shows up and causing her father to flea with her in the night. As more information is uncovered, Meggie finds out that her father has the ability to read people and things out of (or into) books. While I found this idea fascinating, there were a lot of parts that seemed to really drag out. There were times when I was completely absorbed in the book and other times when my mind kept wondering. I think it's worth giving the next book a try, but not sure if I'll finish the series.
