The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

The Ferryman by Justin Cronin Genre: Dystopian / Science Fiction Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very few books get 5 stars from me! What in gods earth did I just read. Review: It may be a long read, but I guarantee you’ll want to slowly devour each chapter until your brain melts! Like many other readers, I fell in love with Cronin reading his Passage trilogy. His style of character development, world-building, and introspective analysis of the internal and external issues issue humanity faces is simply beautiful.

Few books leave a permanent mark, and this is one that surely will! Thank you to NetGalley for my advanced reader copy.

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Publication date: 13th Aug 2020

Goodreads Choice Awards - Winner for Best Fiction 2020

Genre: Adult | Contemporary | Magic Realism

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review:

A wonderful novel combing the introspective deliciousness of literary fiction with the satisfying story arc of genre fiction.

Simply beautiful - one of those books you'll want to gift all of your friends :-)

This is one of those books with which you can take from it as much or as little as you need.

For many, this book may be just the ticket to bring a much-needed fresh lens to any of life’s what ifs; for other, more cynical readers, it may feel predictable. If you fall into the latter category, I suggest you re-read, if only to erase 'regret reading it' from your midnight library!

I've read many great books, and although they have been enjoyable, they all fade over time. This one, however, lingers on for some time after the last page has closed.

It combines the introspective deliciousness of literary fiction with the satisfying story arc and happy ending of genre fiction.

Synopsis:

Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices . . . Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets? A novel about all the choices that go into a life well lived.
