Book Review: Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson

Book Review: Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson
Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians is a new twist on the young adult fantasy genre. Instead of integrating magical elements into a modern story world, the book is written to inform us that our modern world (and even our history) is an illusion that librarians want us to believe.

Great book!
I read this one a few years ago - how can you not pick up a book with a title like this?! Sanderson's a great YA writer - I'd reccomend this series to anyone who likes fantasy or sci/fi.
