Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-21 00:00:00 Kevin Hill [2.5 stars] I was seduced by the word Book in the title but unfortunately, this is a bland, uninspired collection. The essays read like dutiful assignments. A few were worth reading, thus my rounding up to a generous 3 stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-03 00:00:00 Elson Ros Great book for readers. I mean, come on, a book by authors about which books they liked? How could that go wrong? (It doesn't, in case you think I am being sarcastic.) It's tremendous fun to find one of your favorite authors in this book, see what book they chose and read why they chose it. It is like a peek inside their minds and lives. Some authors choose their book based on how it impacted their writing, and others choose a book just because they liked it! For example, one author chose a certain book because it helped her establish her understanding of narrative structure, and another author picked The Little Engine That Could because he remembers reading it in bed as a child. Plus, thanks to this book, I added quite a few new books to my "Must Read" journal. This was a great beside the bed book. Too tired to read? You will still be able to read one of the short entries and go to sleep thinking about all those books yet to read out there...
