The Book Censor's Library

I think it is very hard to create a fresh take on the Fahrenheit 451 / authoritarianism concept. Books like the Slynx (Tatiana Tolstoya) and The Memory Police (Yoko Ogawa) actually do this very well. That being said, the characters / dialogue were well written and the book moved at a decent pace.

4.75 rounded upThis was quite the read! It leads you down the rabbit hole as the main character of this story, the Book Censor, goes down the path once he encounters a book and is challenged by the banned books he begins to discover. The Easter eggs and illustrations throughout the books make the storyline playful, yet the meanings are deep and question the authoritarian society.
