Mr. Penumbra’s 24 hour Bookstore flourishes in the nebulous terrain between super-powered digital information and the text warriors of yore. It rocks in terms of crazy imaginative leaps and is so optimistic about the longevity of books in print that it makes bibliophiles like me positively clap with glee. It does have its share of shortcomings though, but more on that later. And if, in the end, the plot doesn’t entirely satisfy – the love story is a little weak, the 500-year old mystery rather too neatly solved – this novel’s ideas will linger long in the mind. “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore” is eminently enjoyable, full of warmth and intelligence. Sloan balances a strong plot with philosophical questions about technology and books and the power both contain. The prose maintains an engaging pace as Clay, Mr. Penumbra and the quirky constellation of people around them try to determine what matters more — the solution to a problem or how that solution is achieved. "In the end, though, the book works fine as an engrossing mystery — and as an intelligent meditation on technology’s trajectory and limits."https://www.librarything.com/work/12661675/book/132262683# I loved diving into the world that Sloan created, both the high-tech fantasyland of Google and the ancient analog society. It’s packed full of geeky allusions and wonderful characters, and is a celebration of books, whether they’re made of dead trees or digits.

La llibreria del senyor Penombra és un lloc, sens dubte, estrany. Però, després de treballar-hi uns quants dies, en Clay Jannon s’adonarà que ho és encara més del que sembla. Un relat sobre conspiracions, secrets i misteris, on la nostàlgia del paper i la vertiginositat de la tecnologia s’uneixen per crear un univers únic. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Desafortunadament el tema es va desinflant i quan arribem a la meitat es comença a intuir que el final no pot estar a l'altura de totes les expectatives plantejades. I serà així en un tram final avorrit fins a extrems inimaginables mentre el protagonista es troba (per casualitat, sempre per casualitat) amb les solucions.
