Review:
No Book but the World had me flipping pages like a madwoman, even as I couldn’t shake the sneaking feeling that something was really hinky. The book was so well-written that the lapses really stood out, and when they culminated in a twist ending I didn’t feel surprise or relief, just stolid acceptance of her gamesmanship. I really loved all the characters and the exploration of the unschooling philosophy (for which I have some affinity), but the plot device left me cold.
