My note at the time of finishing this was: "The more time goes by, the more I read, the more certain I am that this is not a good book."
It felt like a chore. To be fair, this might have fallen victim to how much I loved The Midnight Library - I went in with high expectations that just weren't met. While I did appreciate the core message of what the narrator learns about what is and isn't important in life, the story itself just didn't grab me.
The saving grace here was the audiobook. The performance was really fantastic and probably kept me going longer than the text would have on its own. It’s a well-intentioned book, but for me, it lacked the magic of his previous work.
