Averagely cooked, but is still entertaining enough to be consume.

First of all, the book girl in the title isn't in the book as much as you would have thought. She is more like a mascot that pops in from time to time to help the story progress, but I still don't see her as an active protagonist (which she has to be since she is in the damn title after all). Now that we have gotten over that, what's about the rest of this book. If the titular book-consuming goblin girl (as the protagonist has supposed with annoyrance) is to give the opinion on the book, she would probably find it "An okay dish, not as uniquely cooked as one would have thought, but A few kicks towards the end helped to add up some flavor" In a nut-shell, the story is about a previously depressed high school boy who used to be a genius 'girl' author who had a nervous breakdown after his unexpected, misunderstood publication success. He is made to join a book club by a mysterious book-consuming (literally) girl who then makes him writes out a meal for her everyday. Later one, her scheme of finding herself more snack put him in a ghostwriter position, drafting out love letters for a girl to give to Shuji, a boy whom she likes. However, our annoyed writer then discovers that Shuji, the guy he has been writing to, doesn't exist... While I'm slightly disappoint that the book girl doesn't have that much role, and we hardly know anything about her even until the end of the book, the ,mystery around Shuji kept me hook enough to finish this light novel in one sitting. Being a book-nut myself, although not to the point of eating them, I enjoy plenty of book references in the story, and I now feel eager to seek out those that I haven't read. I do hope though that the next book in the series (I do understand that this is a start of a series?) would be more about the book girl though.
