}

func main() {
    book := Book{1, "foo", 1.5, []string{"alex"}}
    e := reflect.Indirect(reflect.ValueOf(&book))

    for i := 0; i < e.NumField(); i++ {
        varName := e.Type().Field(i).Name
        varType := e.Field(i).Type
        varValue := e.Field(i).Interface()
        fmt.Printf("%v %v %v\n", varName,varType,varValue)
