The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern

3.0

---

I've finished this book about half a month ago but it still buggs me sometimes and not in a very good way. I've always loved Cecelina Ahern's books. "Love, Rosie" was kind of the first novel I've ever read when I was in middle school (before that I only read manga) and even 7 years later I re-read it I still loved it dearly. And there was "PS I love you" and "A place called here" which I also really liked. I was so excited to read this book. I couldn't say it was bad or it disappointed me but I couldn't say I like it either. I loved the idea of a bus full of books and a book could tell the tomorrow but I still couldn't enjoy it. I think the main problem of me is I find it hard to connect to a spoiled rich pretty teenage girl. The male characters in this book didn't charm me either. And to me, Cecelina's writing style is a bit too much in this book. I don't really know the exact words to describe my feelings about it since English is not my native language. It's too butterfly? Too cheesy? Too preachy? I don't really know. I just know it bugged me and made the reading much less enjoyable compared to my previous Cecelina books' reading experiences. The plot is not too surprising but still okay, there are mysteries and plot twists here and there to hold my interest to finish the book.
Still, this is certainly not Cecelina's best book and somehow it even made me a little scared of reading other books of her. But she's still one of my favorite author, I just need to take a break from her books for a while.
