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.
