Fetching collections of books using activeresource.

I have a class extending from active resource as follows:

class BookResource < ActiveResource::Base
  self.site = "http://api.book.com:3000/"
end

Here is my books_controller.rb

class BookController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @book = Book.find(:all)
  end
end

Running the following command in rails console:

2.1.2 :009 >   BookResource::Book.find(:all)

Actually using the above call, it is giving an error called

" ArgumentError: expected an attributes Hash, got ["total_entries", 38]"

2.1.2 :009 >   BookResource::Book.find(:all)
