The Book of TomorrowCecelia Ahern
310 pages
Tamara Goodwin was born into the lap of luxury, until the abrupt death of her father which leaves she and her mother swmming in debt. The two move in with a mysterious aunt and uncle with secrets Tamara hopes to unveil. But when she finds a book with no title or author, and a rusty lock, things start to go from boring to magical. When she finally prys open the lock, Tamara finds the diary is written in her own handwriting, and the enteries are dated for the next day.
There is certainly no doubt that Cecelia Ahern is an amazing writer on many levels, but The Book of Tomorrow was a bit hard to get into for me. Although the first chaper was strong with deep description and metaphoric passages, I was not in love.
I guess you could say that the plot builds slow and long in this book, as the last few chapters really unravel all of the up-in-the-air questions with high speed. I do not particularly care for that style of writing, but I feel that it works in this situation as it keeps the reader reading in order to find out what happens next.
The Book of Tomorrow is magical, and alluring with a hint of classic mystery.
