REVIEW:-"I did really enjoy this book and thought I'd guessed the likely moral/ending of the story early on. However I thought it a bit unfair that Nora was expected to enter and live different versions of her life without any background information to go on. I applauded Nora for being able to jump in and improvise nevertheless. Not a thing I'd be able to do I fear. I found the following passage very profound "and we spend so much time wishing our lives were different, comparing ourselves to other people and to other versions of ourselves, when really most lives contain degrees of good and degrees of bad".
As the story went on I found it hard to believe that Nora would actually want to try out so many different lives necessitating her telling many lies and bluff her way through things, which must have been very stressful. Thinking about multi-universes and everyone having an infinitesimal amount of lives occurring simultaneously was very confusing and scary to me and I'm not at all keen on the idea of my other selves blithely co-existing with (and without) me. It all made me feel very emotional at times. I enjoyed all the events at the Midnight Library and the fact that the Librarian was so kind to Nora. Matt Haig is certainly very interested in time-related subjects and the book certainly wasn't boring."
Reserved until I find another good home for the book.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.
