## Description

Tohko Amano is a perfectly ordinary Book Girl-she loves stories so much that she devours them. But some stories are too intense even for the specialists. Mysterious coded messages start to appear hinting that a ghost is stalking the school, and what can Tohko do but try to defend the book club from it? She's the president, even if she is a little . . . terrified. But when the ghost turns out to be a real girl with two souls, hovering on the edge of life and death, light and darkness, love and hatred, the Book Girl's skills-and those of Konoha, the trusty, level-headed Watson to her Sherlock Holmes-might be the only way to solve the mystery.

Review: Couldn't put it down, riveting storyline, wonderful characters, charmingly written! - This might be the first light novel I've ever read, seriously regretting that now. This series is so entertaining and addictive, definitely going to read the other novels immediately, wish the graphic novels were available in English too. If you enjoy mystery, drama, romance, intertextuality, a bit of a gothic literary flair, this is a franchise for you. Can't wait to see what future installments have in store, and also seek out other promising light novels by publisher. If you like Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Shakespeare, you won't be disappointed!
Review: A slow burn mystery - Book girl is a mystery series like the Flavia De Luce books or I guess you could compare them to Sherlock Holmes, but not really. The setting is high school in Japan with recurring characters (like all mystery of the month detective books) and a very slow burn over all story, or stories. One of the things that sets Book Girl apart is the characters are somewhat reluctant investigators. They're not in a detective club, they don't go looking for mysteries, rather these things tend to find them. This is book two in the series, but honestly you could skip book one and not miss much (except that book 1 is also a pretty good read). It's hard to imagine when the story will pick up in earnest for the recurring main characters, but you could frankly skip this one too if that is all you were reading these for. So far book one and two have focused almost exclusively on their mystery and the effects of that. One very obvious comparison for book girl is Haruhi. While this is drastically different in many ways, there are a lot of common elements. For one the way the main characters spar and how the male lead treats book girl like she's a little weird (because she is) would remind any Haruhi fan of Kyon's inner monologues about Haruhi. Luckily the complaining in this series isn't nearly so bad (Kyon is constantly whining about what they're doing and it does get old). There is a tiny touch of harem in this series, in that the male has at least two potential female hook ups, but unlike most stories of this type, the female lead also has two potential hook ups, which is very very rare. That's really where the Haruhi comparisons stop though, it's more a feeling than an actual clone, but if you're familiar with both series I imagine you'll pick up on it too. The style of book girl mysteries is often times a very slow and atmospheric tale with various twists and turns along the way. I don't know if you can figure out the actual mystery on your own, but from this book and book 1 I'm leaning no. The seeming randomness and amount of details you're not given would make reader discovery and sleuthing of your own pretty much impossible. Besides which, these are not really who done it stories, rather than larger and more complex mysteries. This is definitely a story you're supposed to experience without trying to make many leaps of your own. The characters in book girl are always rather dynamic and complex. Each book develops them a fair bit, though because these are mysteries of the month style, there is also a lot of rehashing done. I imagine it would be very frustrating to read these books one after another because each book contains a not insignificant amount of review on who everyone is. Other reviewers noted it was a while between book 1 and 2 for them and it was for me too, but luckily the book seems designed for that style of consumption. I would not recommend reading this book right away if you've finished book 1 recently. So for anyone looking at this from the prospective of a book girl fan, if you enjoyed book one, you will probably enjoy book 2, but it is a lot of the same. Anyone new to the series, this is the second book, but also you could frankly jump in here if you were so inclined. I'm personally a fan, but like the slow developing plot lines, I think I'll take my time reading through this series.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A soul in the dark
*by A***A on February 9, 2011*

As usual, Konoha and Tohko-senpai go on crazy adventures to solve someone's love troubles. And as usual, they bite into more than they can chew. Tohko's mysterious, yet gentle and sweet personality really flesh out in this book. Also, it is revealed that even Tohko cannot reveal the future (as she did using literature in the first book). This is volume is a tale of twisted, tortured love. By the end, you will most likely cry. It is a writing style that makes you feel nostalgic as you see the titles of literature you may have read as a child (Pride and Prejudice, Little Lord Fauntleroy), and makes your cheeks drip with tears as you learn the shocking truth. This is yet another volume of Book Girl you must have on your shelf. 5/5
