Spoilers below:
The depression, suicide and painful moments are extremely watered down to avoid triggering readers.
However this kind of breaks it from a story telling point of view. The main character says she is suffering but you never truly feel it. If you have actually experienced having a cat be run over you can't relate to her. If you have ever left a relationship when things were getting serious you can't relate to her. She experiences the events very passively. Depression can make you numb but not to say she cares and also doesn't in this way feels jarring and unnatural.
In short it felt like the character was sad not depressed, and unfortunately it made her struggles seem more like a pity party which is the opposite of what you want.

Ovviamente richiesto il cambio per il quale ho dovuto aspettare un bel po’ ma che è andato a buon fine.

There are so many options for the reviewer, just as there are so many options for the main character in this book. Nora Seed finds herself in a library at the stroke of midnight, with lots of books around her and a librarian from her childhood, Mrs. Elm. Each book represents a different version of Nora’s life, a life of joys and sorrows, people and places, events and tragedies that spawned from a single choice, a decision, or in the case of this girl so full of regrets, something that didn’t happen because she didn’t make that choice.
Of course, there is the root life, the life that Nora remembers living, a life full of disappointments and settling, that led to her attempted suicide and her visits to the Midnight Library. A moment in between, where she isn’t alive and in her body yet she isn’t dead (with the finality that means for self and others). And there are all of those other lives that she now gets to explore, lives where she doesn’t remember any of that Nora’s life, but finds herself plopped there with a kid yet no memory of this child, or as a wife with no memory of sleeping with her husband, or as a glaciologist with no memory of what such a scientist knows, or as a pop star with no memory of the words to popular songs, or as a pub owner with no memory of what to do when closing. Lives, but without the memories that led her there.
An interesting thread running throughout the book is that of Hugo, another slider who explores his own lives. Hugo and Nora meet up several times, though find that the other isn’t what they want and each chooses to go back to their own terminal, hers a library and his a video store. I expected them to meet up at the end, as they had such a powerful connection through their sliding, both aware of themselves and of others, but no. it wasn’t to be. I’m not disappointed, just wondering if such a possibility exists, and if I will get this chance one day. And I wonder how Hugo arrived at this point, if his was also a suicide, and if it only happened to suicides or lives so filled with regrets.
A question I still have is about the character of Mrs. Elm (for Nora) or the uncle (for Hugo) and the place where these shamans or guides or facilitators resided. Both sliders found themselves in an in-between place with a familiar character as the trusted one, not someone who used them but someone who in real life helped them find their own way. A good person. An older person who helped at a pivotal time in their life. I find it cool that the author (Matt Haig) crafted a god-like character, not one who superimposes her/his will on you but one who is limited in what they can do by the physics of the world (a library or a video store) they are trapped in. Not all-powerful. Not desiring worship. Not governed by human impulses (power and sex). But a personal god whose sole interest was in the needs and wants of a single person, a much better concept (to me) than the invented gods of the modern world that seem interested in humanity as a whole (and worship and knee-bending and blind obedience and all of that stupidity). If we could wipe away all of the old gods and create a new god for each person today, this would be the kind of god I would like to think about. Though there is that question about universality, and whether everything we think and feel isn’t just arising from our own experiences, including all of this god-talk.
I enjoyed finding things in this book. Like the title, on page 31. And the name of the band, a variation of the Kurt Vonnegut classic, Slaughterhouse Five. And the name of the music shop that sounds like the idea behind all of the lived lives in this book, String Theory. And the references to Bedford and Pottersville, connecting readers to the classic movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. And life-fright being similar to stage-fright. And the role of chess in the book, from its beginning to its end, something that used to be a major part of my own life as an educator. And glitches in the library that stemmed from Nora thinking differently about death than she did in her root life. And I had to look up “grasshopper suicide”, because the character told me to, and how many forms of life there are (almost nine million), and Frank Ocean (“Moon River” was awesome).
Another interesting concept is that of time. Time doesn’t pass for Nora in the real world as she pulls out numerous books from the library shelves, some exploring for a few minutes, others for hours or days or months. Yet the clock never moves past 12:00 in slide after slide, life after life, universe after universe, until her thinking changes in such a way that she no longer regrets the choices she made in her root life. And then the clock starts ticking and Mrs. Elm warns her that she must do just one thing in order to survive, pick that one book, and, wait, I don’t want to spoil it for you, but it gets to 00:03:48.
If you want to know what happens to Nora, then read this book. It is really good and worth your time. And if you are the philosophical type (as I am), then keep a notepad and pen nearby so that you can write down the interesting thoughts and ideas that flow from the mind of Nora Seed, the questions she ponders, the truths she shares with the world. And I will end on a final thought, one found on page 137, about life and what it is: “…acres of disappointment and monotony and hurts and rivalries but with flashes of wonder and beauty.” Something to think about.

The novel follows Nora Seed, a disillusioned woman who finds herself in a magical library that allows her to explore different versions of her life through various books. This premise holds great promise, promising readers an exploration of life's what-ifs and the power of second chances. Unfortunately, the book fails to fully deliver on this potential.
The writing style is straightforward and accessible, but it lacks depth and sophistication. The prose often feels simplistic, lacking the emotional resonance that could have truly brought the story to life. As a result, I found it challenging to fully engage with the characters and their experiences. Nora, the protagonist, remains somewhat distant and difficult to connect with, preventing me from becoming truly invested in her journey.
Furthermore, the pacing of the novel feels uneven. While some parts are captivating and filled with moments of reflection, other sections drag on, slowing down the narrative's momentum. This inconsistency disrupts the flow of the story, making it difficult to maintain a consistent level of interest.
Additionally, the resolution of the book feels rushed and unsatisfying. After building up multiple parallel lives and potential paths, the conclusion feels abrupt, leaving several loose ends and unanswered questions. It left me yearning for a more comprehensive and thought-provoking resolution that could have tied the narrative threads together more effectively.
Despite these shortcomings, The Midnight Library does offer some poignant moments and philosophical musings on life, regrets, and the pursuit of happiness. It raises important questions about the choices we make and the impact they have on our lives. These elements provide glimpses of the novel's potential, but they are unfortunately overshadowed by its overall mediocrity.
In conclusion, while The Midnight Library presents an intriguing premise and touches on thought-provoking themes, it falls short in its execution. The writing lacks depth, the pacing is inconsistent, and the resolution feels rushed. It is a book that had the potential to be extraordinary but ultimately left me feeling underwhelmed. While it may resonate with some readers, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend it as a standout work of fiction.
