This is a fantastic book but I think there were a few bits and bobs that should have been edited out.
I listened to the audiobook, which was fantastic, except the areas of repetition. I just found that frustrating. I think I'd have skipped them if I'd physically read it.
The concept of the midnight library is wonderful. The idea that it's different for everyone fits perfectly. As a character and protagonist, I loved Nora. I did wish that she copped a bit quicker to how little some people would ever actually care for her. I loved Mrs Elm too. The perfect guide.
The very last few pages were a bit too neat for my liking. Almost perfect for the story but just a little too perfect if you know what I mean.
