Meredith's Reviews > That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America

I really wanted to like this book but the author made it incredibly difficult.

Jones claims she isn't trying to "settle a score" (page 154), yet spends at least half the book decrying how people in her community wronged her, judging them based on their (in)actions and personal lives. She admits, "One of my biggest flaws is my tendency to hold grudges. I promise I'm working on that, but it's hard" (page 148).

The book was clearly written while her wounds were still fresh; it would have been much stronger with time and perspective—or at least a better editor.
