Rex Libris: Book of Monsters

Rex Libris: Book of Monsters/James Turner 240 pgs.

Librarians fighting monsters...what is not to like? Rex, Circe and Hypatia do a lot of physical activity in this book but at one point Rex asks Hypatia to "use your librarian training and concentrate.." I was trying to reflect back on my librarian training to see if it included anything like that. I also enjoyed when the evil guy is trying to kill Rex and asks if he has any last words and he decides this is a good time to recite an epic poem (24 books). Be careful what you offer the librarian! Oh, one other good moment when Rex is in another "situation" and decides it might be a good time to offer some readers advisory services and tell his would-be murderer that he should consider reading some specific books. Ok, enough librarian humor but that is what keeps me coming back! - Christa
