Will I like The Midnight Library

[Viviennemary]

Was thinking about buying this as it's had good reviews. I don't want anything too downbeat or even too cheerful or silly. Anyone read it?

I loved it and I know I will reread it at some point.

I do love Matt Haig's books though.

I really liked it, but unlike a previous poster I thought it could have been a little bit longer.

Not to give any spoilers, but i thought the middle could have been fleshed out a little more - I would have liked to have read more of the middle of the book... hopefully that will make sense once you've read it!

I agree. I'd like to have more middle to read.

I loved it. I love Matt Haig's writing. I find he makes me feel better even when tacking some quite painful subjects. This book isn't so much uplifting as comforting, I'd say.

Meh, I thought it was ok. Couldn't imagine anyone would dislike it, it's well done, good ideas, well written and executed, I just found it a bit bogstandard and predictable.

Agree with Kolo it's ultimately comforting and a bit inspiring which is nice.

I found the beginning really sad and a bit hard to listed to, probably more for personal reasons than anything, but once past that it's fine.

As a PP says Carey Mulligan is a brilliant narrator.
