84, Charing Cross Road is my favorite book of 2014. This is the 3rd book of Hanff's I read this
year. Unfortunately, the other two just haven't been as good. In this one, she,
along with her friend Patsy, provide the readers a tour of New York City. It
still contains her humor, but I think I didn't enjoy it as much because I am
not familiar with New York. I sense New Yorkers would appreciate it more and
find it even more humorous than I did. Furthermore, I believe it would be a
great choice for a New York One Book One City book. In the back section of book
it includes updates of places that have changed since the first publication in
1978. Sadly, if they ever do another reprint they will need to update with the
Twin Towers attack.
