The Midnight Library

3.5 stars. Totally solid book with a likeable protagonist and some thought provoking ideas. The book may never reach any soaring heights, but also never drags on or gets lost in pretension or self-congratulation. Basically, I feel like I could recommend this book to nearly anyone and be assured that it will be an entertaining read for them — but I also wouldn't expect this to become anyone's new favorite book that totally blows their mind.
