I loved the concept of this book: it is an ode to bookshops, authors, book talks and all things bookish. Initially I enjoyed the quirky characters and the Korean setting, so different to the usual English or American books that come my way.
However, the author became distracted by subjects that obviously concern them: corporate greed and workplace burn-out being two such concerns. And this is where it started to get very preachy; I felt I was being lectured, and the author was just venting their views, and I was a captive audience. So at page 172 I gave it up. Disappointing.
