Stuck--unexpected symbol- compiler error

https://w.trhou.se/rzvbtszoqw I keep getting a compiler error(Program.cs) from 13,9: cs 1525: unexpected symbol `var' i'm not getting it from any other lines and i have no idea why. I've searched the msdn for answers but, that only seems to confuse me more. thank you!

When you see unexpected symbol for a line look to the line before. You are missing a semicolon at the end of this line:

book.Genre = "Science Fiction";

FOR THE LOVE OF #*^%& !! I've been sitting in front of the computer for just about 5 hours now, watching video, taking notes, my head is flat from hitting it on the desk over that missing semi-colon for the last 30 mins. Thanks!
