This book is so good and believable. It takes you on a journey which comes to life and has you understand the strength and resealance of people who are going through the worst of times and are able to remain humbled and forgiving. I highly recommend this book.

All you young people ought to read this if you think your life is hard....

Well if you didn't already think war is hell, read this book...and also if you think war is never necessary. What a totally realistic look at huma ity at its worse and its best. A page turner to the end. I only hope the film version is able to translate because I know so many young people today do not read.

Superb book

Published by Dillolady , 9 months ago
I have read many books over the years and only a handful stand out as truly remarkable. This is one of them. It's easy to see why it was so highly praised and awarded and it will remain a classic for many years. Lovers of historical fiction will not be able to put it down. The characters are real and believable. The story pulls you in and doesn't let you go until the very last page. Don't delay another day, read this book now. It will live inside you long after the last page has been turned.

France world war ll

Published by Love to read , 9 months ago
An Excellant read from start to finish. The story telling and writing is like none I have ever read. Its Brilliant and heartfelt, telling the tale of two main characters and what they lived through and experience during the War. It touches your heart, it makes you think about the fate of life and love and loss. How the human spirit goes on ..and lives....even through the terrible horrors of war. It is Beautiful and daring and heartbreaking and joyful. Its thrilling and suspenseful and never confusing about the lives of Werner and Marie, whom seem to meet by pure fate...of one being there at the right time and the right moment to make all the difference in one persons life. Also like a redemption for Werner who couldn't help the young cadet who was his best friend in Hiltlers forced youth camp...I truly can't say enough about the depth of this story and how it all plays together till the very end. A compelling and Brilliant read !! Truly a MAGNIFICENT book !!!

Outstanding Book!

I absolutely loved this book. The story was very different than the others I have read lately which made it refreshing. It included history plus interesting characters and story line. I would definitely recommend it.

historical fiction

Published by Caroline , 1 year ago
There are a lot of historical/foreign places named and it is very easy to confuse them. Sometimes the story was clouded by the detail.

a true must read

Published by PiggyMom , 1 year ago
wasn't ready for the ending; the vocabulary was difficult for me as a non-native speaker. Absolutely loved the book!

Grabs you from the start!

Published by MarioDogsMom , 1 year ago
This book grabbed me from the start and I could hardly put it down! Lots of depth to the characters too. It's one of only a handful of books that I would gladly read again.

Wonderfully told story.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and many other awards. Well worth the time.

Good read

Published by AmyI , 3 years ago
I bought the book on a recommendation from my friend. I enjoyed the book but it would not be my first recommendation to anyone else. It's an easy read, sometimes hard to follow since the story skips from past to present then back. I do love that the chapters are short so I can do a little reading here and there. The story was different from the normal ww2 novel which was the only reason I was able to get into it. I liked the book overall, but would not be my first pick.

Oh the imagery!

Published by Sandy , 4 years ago
“All the Light We Cannot See” goes down as one of the best books I have ever read. The scenes the writer paints through the written word are amazingly real life. I felt as though I was present throughout the book. I recommend this book to everyone I encounter. It is right there with “Beneath a Scarlet Sky” and “The Nightingale.” A must read, in my opinion!

A basic summary

Published by Arden , 4 years ago
Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See tells the story of two teenagers during World War II (WWII), one a blind girl in Nazi-occupied France, the other a German orphan boy pressed into service by the Nazi army.

Made me cry, almost

Published by Jake , 4 years ago
Loved this book. The pace can feel kind of slow at times, but every portion is excellently written and credible. I enjoyed reading this and discovering that the author researched the youth of Germany.

The Light We Can Not See

Published by Betsy B. , 4 years ago
We read this book for our book club. It is a riveting book about the 2nd world war, the on the ground horror of the rubble & victims due to Hitler's crazy actions. It will keep you on your seat. I couldn't leave the characters stranded so I read on and on !
