An irresistible French sensation - Mr Penumbra's 24- hour Bookstore meets Amélie - The Reader on the 6.27 explores the power of books through the lives of the people they save. It is sure to capture the hearts of book lovers everywhere.
Guylain Vignolles leads a dull and solitary life. He hates his job and his only company at home is a goldfish. Every morning he takes the 6.27 to his tedious job at a book pulping factory. He hates his boss and his assistant but he finds companionship with the factory's guard, an eccentric aficionado of classical literature. On the train each morning on the way to work, Guylain reads aloud to his fellow commuters the disparate pages that he rescues from the jaws of the monstrous pulping machine.
One morning on the train, he finds a USB stick which contains the diary of a young woman. As Guylain reads the diary, he finds himself falling love with its author . . .
This enchanting novel is a warm and funny fable about literature's power to uplift even the most monotonous of lives; and how there can be dignity and poetry for even the most misunderstood.

This contemporary fable was acquired by more than twenty countries. A beautiful testimony to the universality of the love of books
The humanity of the characters . . . the re-enchantment of everyday life, the power of words and literature, tenderness and humor . . . The Reader on the 6.27 is a must.

This small book has such originality and elegance in its delightful process, and the ordinary Ness of it characters and setting with the narrators charm and poise in executing the reading. Such a delight, and while I shall recommend to many people.

Delightful in its elegance.

If you described the plot of this book to anyone, it would seem a little strange but the entire narrative wends its way to a beautiful, funny and touching narrative. The French narration only added to its beauty.

Beautiful, touching and amusing

A fun, quirky story and I really like Cornicard’s accent. The subtle way he changed his voice for Julie and the old ladies was nice, too.

Due to reading difficulties, I read and listen at the same time and I did find a few small errors here and there: some misread words and unintoned questions. I found myself doing a double-take ever now and then but really no big deal!

The occasional misread

Not quite knowing where this story would go when I started it, I found the characters sweet and the storytelling to pick up pace towards the middle/end. There was one particular short "entry" that I did not care for, which was critical of people with lisps and autism and warts etc. Julie's character could have been "turned off" by rude behaviour or anything else than these things.. Otherwise, an enjoyable short read for people with passion for the written word.

Pleasant read
