Review:

Plot:

The book slowly turns from a normal to a mystery and that’s what would attract the readers to the book. The book which Tamara Goodwin finds in the bus plays a great role in the story as the readers would always be waiting to read her future occurrence in it. The action she takes after reading every entry and the way she tries to fit into her fantasy life would also be interesting. The plot can be simply referred as fascinating.

Experience:

The book of tomorrow would be an intriguing read and the title itself would pique the curiosity. The title just sounds like a non fiction but the story is a pure fiction which would arouse a spooky feeling while you read. The mystery and the secrets in it would keep the story alive. The moment Tamara Goodwin switches to a tiny village, the readers would be restless till they solve the mystery.

Characters:

Every characters in the story would be revolved around a mystery and would also keep the story alive till the end. Tamara Goodwin’s confusion on reading the book which held her future, Rosaleen’s mysterious behaviour, Jennifer’s sudden change in her deportment would be sure to raise the consciousness of the readers. Overall Cecelia Ahern has done a great job while plotting the characters.
