I wanted to like this book, really I did. I love Doctor Who, alternate realities, and books that combine genres. The Invisible Library was marketed with me in mind. It was chosen as one of the tops books for the June 2016 Library Reads list, and as a new assistant librarian, I couldn't wait to see something so highly recommended by peers. This should have ranked up there as one of my favorite books of the summer. I didn't make it past page 50. It just felt like this book was trying too hard to be something it wasn't. Was it supposed to be action packed? Funny in a British ridiculous way? A way to pander to bibliophiles? I'm not sure. It has been heavily marketed to Doctor Who fans. Well, remember the episode Dinosaurs on a Spaceship? Yea, the one with Nefertiti. If you liked that episode of Doctor Who, then this book is for you. If you thought that episode was an insult to your intelligence and not a serious attempt at sci-fi or fantasy, you might want to skip this book. I fear I'm turning into a fantasy/sci-fi snob, but this just wasn't my cup of tea.
