Student Book Review

Review of The Midnight Library

Author: Matt Haig

Publisher: Canongate

My Review:

magical space between life and death, where Nora Seed, facing despair, gets to explore infinite parallel lives she could have lived, from rock stardom to Olympic swimming. What makes this book shine is its poignant exploration of regret, showcasing how every "what if" path carries its own unique joys and sorrows, ultimately teaching Nora (and us) that the simplest life, filled with connection, holds profound beauty. Haig's writing is accessible yet deep, balancing fantasy with heartfelt emotional truth, making it a comforting, thought-provoking read that reminds us to embrace our current reality. It's a hopeful, quick read that leaves you feeling grateful for your own story

My Comment on this Book:

a deeply moving, hopeful, and self-reflective story about regret, second chances, and finding meaning in life's choices, resonating with themes of mental health and potential, while some find its message simplistic, repetitive, or too much like a self-help book, criticizing its lack of subtlety despite appreciating its accessible exploration of profound themes
