Review:
Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they
close forever.
This is not the type of book everyone will find interesting.
It'll take a deep reader to go through everything. Shallow readers will probably
dump it after the first five chapters. Doerr didn't make this easy by his
complicated form of narration that only ended up making the book unnecessarily
long and a bit uncanny , although it didn't terribly detract from the story. I
found the mystery gem part rather baseless and confusing.
In as much as it has its flaws, it also has its bright side.
Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you feel the the wind on your skin or the touch
of a shell against your fingertips or smile at the intriguing questions of
children. Doerr carefully narrated the story of how two children, in the times
of peril and war, struggled to survive. Another good thing about the book is
the fact that the morals and lessons comes jumping right in front of you the
very moment you begin to read.
Irrespective of its difficult and confusing plots, All
the light we cannot see , is that book you would never want to ignore. Though,
I got tired inbetween the lines, I still found myself coming back to it until
it was completed.
Rating: 4.1/ 5.
