The Library at Mount Char, the debut novel by Scott Hawkins, sets up a world of Librarians, normal Americans, and Father himself. This book is not for everyone. It contains graphic descriptions of violence and a lot of cursing. However, the bizarre world set up and the gripping story line keeps me reading. I cringe and hurry over the descriptions and keep reading. Much as this is completely not the type of book I read, I couldn't stop reading and couldn't stop guessing what would come next.

This is certainly an original and quite different than any book I have ever read. There were many interesting aspects throughout. I really enjoyed parts of the story, but there are some brutal and graphic parts, too. It is enjoyable but definitely "out there".
