latest read: the midnight library

I had such high hopes for this book after reading rave reviews on it.

It is supposed to be a profound deep and meaningful book that will enlighten you and bring perspective to your life.

I didn't hit me at all. 

To me, it was not dissimilar to several other books that try to explain the need for us 
to appreciate what we have and the life we are living, 

to not question so much of what could, would and should happen 

but to realize that you are here and now based on the choices that you made, be it good or not, 

because realize that the good choices that you thought were good may not be that good 

or that the bad choices made may be the better choice at that moment in time. 

Every decision made leads to a certain outcome and the only outcome that you know are the one you are currently living in. 

So, just live and learn.

Yes, we've heard this many times.

It was an interesting read until somewhere mid-book where it began to be quite obvious what the story is all about and what the conclusion would be.
