“I found the premise interesting. Jewish vegetarian librarian Israel Armstrong takes a position in a small Northern Ireland town. He arrives to find the library closed, a mobile library in place and 15,000 books missing. He is charged with finding these books, since town council feels he is a librarian and the collection is his responsibility.
The book was funny at times, however, the same elements kept repeating themselves, Israel banging his head or falling into some calamity. The ending was thrown together at the end, as if the author was startled at the length his manuscript was becoming and decided to end it.
I wouldn't buy it, check it out of the library if you want to read.”
