I like quirky characters. I like a good premise. This book had all these but I didn’t come away with any great fondness for the writing style or the characters. It didn’t ring true. It was choppy. It did not evoke any feelings of sentimentality or sadness because these were cardboard characters. Maya, as a child, children do not speak that way. The slow pace of the courtship — I almost just gave up. These are thirtysomethings acting like junior high kids. The cop story line was totally unbelievable too. Sorry, it had so much promise but ultimately let me down. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoroughly entertaining! *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2017* This is a love story: love between adults, love of a child, and love of books, not at all the type of book I generally read. I LOVED it! A.J. has been rather a curmudgeon since his wife died. He runs a small bookstore on a small island. When a child is abandoned in his store, he first fosters then adopts her. She becomes a reader, and books are integral to the plot. Add in a publishing house representative, a sister-in-law married to a writer, a cop who isn't a reader (yet), and several other rolks (including an alcoholic actor who impersonates a beloved author) and you have a story that will make you giggle, make you cry a bit, and thoroughly entertain you from beginning to end. I cannot give a higher recommendation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional, extraordinary and beautifully written *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017* "We aren't the things we collect, acquire, read. We are, for as long as we are here, only love. The things we loved. The people we loved."This will be one of those rare unicorns of a book that will go on my favorites shelf and that I will recommend to all of my friends.Everything about this book completely and utterly captivated me to a point where I spent all Labor Day reading this book and basking in all the emotions it dredged up. You will want to finish this all in one sitting so beware. It is also a book that you will want to read and re-read which brings to mind a point A.J. Fikry made that books come to you during certain times of your life where they will mean something special and relevant to what you are going through and at opposing times they may mean and touch your heart in an entirely different way.The storied life of a.j. Fikry is one that will remain in my heart and mind. It's a story that I can only imagine for some reason or another will resonate with all readers.Read this book!! You won't be sorry! You can thank me later! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/121145127-the-storied-life-of-a-j-fikry-thorndike-press-large](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/121145127-the-storied-life-of-a-j-fikry-thorndike-press-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
