Book Review of Behind the Scenes at the Museum

Behind the Scenes at the Museum
reviewed on


After falling in deep love with Kate Atkinson's newest book, Life After Life, I was eager to get my eyes on everything else she had written.

Behind the Scenes at the Museum was disappointing to me, in comparison to LAL. I have enjoyed her Case History books, but nothing has lived up to LAL.

I think this is a case of having read an author's best book first. Behind the Scenes at the Museum is very well written, great characters, nothing bad to say about it, but my only real joy was in spying signs of the writing to come in Life After Life. Glad I read it and hope you will try it, too.
