jsmnelles 's review for:
Ihmeellisten asioiden museo
by Alice Hoffman
After some thinking, I'm going to settle for 2/5 stars.
I thought this was going to be a light, romantic story but it took a way darker path than I expected. I struggled a lot reading this, mostly because it was hard to connect with this book on an emotional level and I think that would have been very important. Coralie and Eddie, the main characters telling their stories, remained distant for me. Instead we get a lot of descriptions of New York back in 1911 - maybe what happened to the city was meant to reflect on the main characters but I don't know. This book just wasn't for me at all.
In a way, it was easy to know what was going to happen and there is something you wish wouldn't happen but it happens anyway. I wasn't too thrilled about that. I didn't hate this book but I didn't love it either, very neutral.
