The love for books this story exudes is impressive actually and very heart-warming.

It makes you take a step back and think about your view on books and their effect on you and remind you why you started reading books in the first place. I know it did for me. 

It also makes you think about the place books have in society, the effect of capitalism, trends, etc. And how despite everything, people’s love for books is what eventually helps books survive.

Villains were convinced a bit too easily in my opinion but that means it’s accessible to a wide range of readers, including younger ones.
