The Last Bookshop

I did not spend too much time in this place because at this point in time, I need to be prudent about money. I only purchased one book. The young man behind the till was really nice. He asked me about the Jodi Picoult book that I was purchasing. He then put a qustion to me about her other books and I just drew a blank. I am an extremely shy person and I struggled to think of an answer. One of the books that I liked which she wrote was "Handle with Care." I hope he is able to see this review, in case it is something that he wants to read. She also wrote, "House Rules." It is about a mother who has two children and one of them is described as having Asperger's Syndrome. Some people have criticised this book heavily, while others find that it is an accurate portrayal in certain instances, of how the mother feels. Obviously, if people choose to read the book, they can decide for themselves. I just appreciated the effort the person behind the counter made to speak about the books people purchased.

Although the £3 books make the store incredibly affordable (which it is for new books), the format just doesn't seem to work. As others have mentioned, the books aren't worth the same amount, and so shouldn't be sold for the same amount. And the stock that has been chosen is clearly limited and chosen around the £3 sale budget. A tier cost system may work better.
