The Midnight Library

We start in the dark and move out into the light.

The journey is straightforward and well driven, you have to just relax into it and be carried along the clear path and enjoy the sights that are clearly visible along the way, well marked and labeled.

I loved this book, it made me feel.

I enjoyed this book :) it's the first thing I finished in about a year, and I am very glad I did.

While it was easy to read and well written, it severely didn't live up to the hype. Came across as "depression can be cured by just realizing the life you're living is the best one" as if just deciding not to be depressed is a thing one can do.

Most of this was really good, but it became tedious to me about half-way through. Too many Thoreau references (almost as if the author cribbed as many quotable quotes from some website into the book). The ending was fantastic, though, and redeemed this from being a 3-star read.

Good and insightful

I originally never intended on reading this. As with most my reads I try to stay away from those overly hyped everywhere. But after reading the synopsis I thought what they hay. I am sooooo glad I did. The writing touched a heavy topic of regret and what if, but the authors way of playful and witty words helped smooth those sharp edges. The insight within this book had me highlighting quote after quote because it resonates with the reader.

A bit heavy-handed, but enjoyable

Good ending, but overall repetitive and slightly cliche read. Meh.

The book was doing so well for a very poor ending. Enjoyable read, though!

An easy read dealing with suicidality and the possible lives we might lead. Basically what it says on the tin.

It's a good book. The ending was predictable, but that doesn't make it less wholesome or the message of the book less pure. An uplifting insight into the nature of regrets, potential, and the importance of perspective on any situation.

Genau das richtige Buch zur richtigen Zeit.

Matt Haig versteht es einfach, Bücher zu schreiben, die interessant zu lesen sind und einem gleichzeitig Denkanstöße für das eigene Leben zu geben.
