All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr review - Aldo
Before and during Germany's conquest of France, the story takes place in Germany and France. Doerr's vivid imagination appears to be rooted in his or her favorite children's literature: Marie-Laure is a little motherless French girl who is blind and has the freckles of Pollyanna and Anne of Green Gables. In the German mining community of Zollverein, which is close to Essen, Werner Pfennig and his sister Jutta are orphans. He is a seven-year-old boy with snow-white hair whose presence fills the space "like being in the room with a feather." Even though Werner is small, he is not Peter Pan. He is gifted in science, especially the complexities of radios. He's able to cure anything.
For me, the book was really interesting. I liked the way that each character had their own little backstory. I also liked how detailed the story was. It did a great job of explaining everything that was happening in the book and how it influenced the ending. Speaking of the finale, for me, it was honestly pretty good. In my opinion, the end satisfied me and didn't really leave me asking too many questions.
Overall, I liked the story; it made me really visualize it because of the immense amount of detail. I would rate it 3.5 stars out of 5.
Good Review. I always have wanted to read more books about real events and how it would feel if I were actually in that situation. Thank you for not spoiling the ending as I think I will try reading this book.
