A few months ago D’Aun hired an olive oil consultant to help with a few questions. It’s a long story, but the consultants friend was none other than Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. Robin seemed like a really nice guy, and the book had good reviews, so we got a copy.
Wow. Where the heck have I been? I mean, why did it take me so long to hear about this book and check it out?
Penumbra is fantastic. Fun plot, great writing, extraordinarily creative, contemporary with a touch of ancient wisdom, funny but in an endearing way, excellent character development, witty in all the right places…
Did I mention I really liked it?
If you’re into audiobooks, this is one of the best I’ve heard. The voices, sound effects and tempo hit just the right chord of fun but still professional. Highly recommended. I did the sync between Kindle and Audible which went by really fast (and kept me up at night, or sitting in the car, in an effort to read one more chapter).
Go get your copy. Or maybe you already have since clearly I’m behind the curve on this one. Either way, it’s a great book!
