Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great. Let's take a look at the "Bummer!" error message you're getting. Here it is: "Bummer! Make sure to use the exact message from the instructions. Note the trailing space. Copy/paste if you like!" Your code should look like this:
string bookTitle="2020 Revolution";
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: "); //note the space between the colon and the closed parenthesis
The string must be exactly the same. Your string is missing a space between the colon and the closed parenthesis. If you were to include a Read() after it, then run the code it would produce a prompt with no space after. The user would be typing their answer right up against that colon. We just want it to have a little breathing room there so that it looks nicer. Hope this helps! And yes, challenges are exceptionally picky!
