The Cemetery of Forgotten Books
I really liked the chapter "The Cemetery of Forgotten Books." I think it's a good opening to a story and a good stand-alone chapter as well. I liked the idea of this mysterious place where books go to be saved from death, and as an avid reader the descriptions given to the books and how they make you feel was perfect. I really did want to believe this place existed, but something about it just wouldn't let me. I didn't like the fact that it was some big secret. If they wanted these forgotten books to be remembered and loved, then why isn't he allowed to tell anyone they exist? Seemed like backward logic. The chapter was intriguing enough to keep reading, but I think this book would end up being more fantastical then realistic based on this first chapter.
