All The Light We Cannot See [By Anthony Doerr] - Book Review

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.

The Case - Chapter One

Chapter One:

"Mehn!! ...I ain't never seen a dull day like this, Chris" said officer Jake.

"Hand me that gun" said officer Chris.

"You wanna shoot yourself, right?"

"You know me so well".

Chris and Jake had been best friends since kindergarten, and even their parents still saw each other in their old ages. They had both entered the Police Academy at the Washington district - and after two years of cleaning guns and polishing shoes of D.A.'s, they got into the force, and had been looking for some "real action" ever since.
