The Book of Doors

Gareth Brown

4.03 AVERAGE


I'm not certain how i feel about this book. Some plot points felt a little too convenient and contrived and other things lacked details so made them less believable or immersive. 

However on the whole I enjoyed it. I tend to feel great affection for any story that centres on books. 

I thought the
time travel
areas were done well and believably and I likea the philosophy behind it. 

Overall it was good but nothing that completely rocked my world. 

Listened at 1.75x speed on Libby app through my local library.

DID NOT FINISH: 13%

Main character is doesn’t have much dimension and the writing feels more like YA to me.
