A lot of people are lukewarm about that author. It's not just you!Anonymous wrote:I'm in my first book club and reading "The Midnight Library". It's terrible. I also usually read nonfiction so I think there is a huge adjustment perhaps?

A couple weeks ago I decided to get in line on the Libby website for my library for this book, since many on here have mentioned that they enjoyed it. Libby said I was number 168 in line to be able to access the book and it would be a 14 week wait. Then, 4 days ago Libby said I could skip to the front of the line right away, but only if I keep the book for one week only. Of course I downloaded it, but I am pretty busy this week and I am almost resenting this 12 hour long book just because it feels like yet another obligation on my list of things that need to get done.
So far I have listened to about 2 hours of it. I am at the part where they are waiting for room service to bring them some dental floss.
The book is about a woman who checks into a hotel and finds that she is the only guest at the hotel who is not part of a wedding party.

I am flabbergasted. It’s a top 10 book of all time for me.
I thought the start was very, very promising. But some of the turns it took were just unrealistic for something purporting to shine light on the Korean experience in Japan. And I found the later chapters/final third flat. I'm glad you found it so wonderful, though! Different strokes and all that.
DP, but I felt the same way about Pachinko. The first third was beautifully written and compelling and I got myself lost in Sunja’s story. Then the narrative shifted gears to the future generations, and I started losing interest. An uneven read overall.
