My Review: All The Light We Cannot See has been the talk of the literary town. It's the darling of critics, has gotten a lot of buzz and even won the Pulitzer Prize. It's got a lot going for it. Unfortunately I'm not on the same wavelength as the Pulitzer prize people (and many other readers) because this highly acclaimed novel just didn't live up to my expectations.I'm a huge reader of WWII fiction and have read some real gems in the past - The Paris Architect, The Storyteller, The Nightingale, Wolfsangel, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas to name just a few. It's a favourite genre of mine so I expect a lot of emotion, action and character development. All The Light We Cannot See introduces some unique characters (a Nazi youth and a blind French girl) and has some very lyrical writing and descriptions of France, Germany and the era. The first half of the book was very enjoyable but then the pace slowed dramatically and continued at that pace for the remainder of the book.Don't get me wrong. It wasn't that I didn't like the book -- I just didn't love it and feel like it will be one of those books that won't stay with me long. I think that where the book started to lose me was around the half way point when pace petered out and the character development became stagnant. The reader is told a lot about what's happening to these two teens but we're not privy to their inner feelings very much.In the beginning I really felt for Werner as he's forced into the Nazi Youth training program. But you'd think that after Werner witnesses a truly horrific incident involving someone he liked that it would have changed him. Forced him to view the way the Nazi's run things differently. Sure, he didn't like what he saw but it also didn't seem to change his path in life or even fundamentally change him as a person. He's a young man who loves working with mechanical things and he doesn't really give any thought about how what he does leads to the death of others. He felt very apathetic with his head stuck in a transistor radio instead of taking the time to look up and see what was going on around him and (in a some part) how his skill aids the Nazis. He felt very juvenile throughout the book (I know that he's a teenage boy) but you'd think that the war would have matured him more than the reader witnessed.Marie-Laure suffered a similar fate. It was her character that enticed me to read the book but overall the reader is only privy to reading what happens to her, not how she really feels about things. I had a hard time relating to her when I only had these very short chapters to connect with her before the story switched back to Werner's point of view.Overall, this was just an okay read for me. There wasn't a lot of action, tension or even emotion that you'd expect from a WWII novel. With the addition of the magical stone treasure hunt story line and two innocent children getting wrapped up in the fray, All The Light We Cannot See seemed to have a much more juvenile, young adult feel to it. I kept at it hoping for a big climactic moment but I was left feeling that their converging stories never really came together in the end. Or at least not as climactic as I was expecting after slogging through a rather slow last half of the book. Frustratingly, the ending was very weak, predictable and not very believable. The book is set during a very sensitive and horrific time but doesn't get to the nitty gritty nor the depth of emotion of that time than I was expecting.My Rating: 3/5 stars**This book review can also be found on my blog, The Baking Bookworm (www.thebakingbookworm.blogspot.ca) where I share hundreds of book reviews and my favourite recipes. **
Tough to review. There's no doubt this is a fantastic book. Beautifully written, palpable characters, fantastic backdrop. I can see why it's recieved so many accolades.But all that said, I didn't find it enjoyable to read.It took a while to figure out why. Even while reading it I'm thinking to myself "This is so good", but at the same time wondering why I'm bored and looking forward to the next book.Finally I think I nailed it. Nothing really happens. It's all set in amongst the background of a lot happening, but other than hearing about it, there's not much that really goes on with the characters that so much time has been spent making us love.This feels like all the parts of a fantastic book that happen BETWEEN the major plot points.I spent the majority of this book waiting for something to happen, and when it doesn't it feels like there no payoff for the time invested in these characters.Maybe this is what literary fiction is about. I can see why people may like it. It's life through the eyes of others.But books are a form of entertainment. This wasn't entertaining to me, and I couldn't wait to start a new book.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough! It has quickly become one of my absolute favorite books...it's truly captivating and well written.Call me old-fashioned, but I used to love browsing bookstores in person, and the rise of the internet has made it all too easy to find and purchase subpar (albeit popular) books. There are so many entertainment alternatives that many truly great stories go under the radar...until it's announced that they'll be made into a movie (in fact, many read like screenplays, as if the author anticipates that's where the paycheck is). And yes, the characters and the interwoven storyline and the dramatic WWII backdrop could make for a blockbuster hit.But. This is a book you really should read, and relish. (I read this on my kindle and hid the progress percentage because I didn't want it to end.) Doerr writes with absolutely beautiful imagery. It's emotional and vivid and earnest. A wonderful reminder that books were written to provide a unique insight into how others think, and feel, and live, and love.
The writer is obviously a very talented storyteller who devoted a considerable period of time to writing this novel (10 years). It is quite vivid in detail. Those who like literary fiction will enjoy it immensely. Those who like a story that is plot-driven, not so much. I kept reading, because I wanted to see it to the end, but at any time, I could have put this book down. I kept checking to see how many pages I had left to wade through. Not a good sign. I never really connected to the characters, particularly Werner, who played his one string of homesickness for all it was worth. I think the story would have worked much better if it had been arranged in chronological order. All the flashbacks at the beginning were distracting. Frankly--irritating--particularly when they occurred during a "present" scene, when the reader was quite unwilling dragged away from the action for a lengthy flashback. The flashbacks were also confusing (time-wise), since the book was written entirely in present tense. Dates were posted before the chapters, but they were hard to keep in mind when everything was happening right now. One last word on detail before closing. This book is RICH in detail. The problem, for me--and you may come away with an entirely different take on this--reviews are only opinions, after all--was finding a detail that would stick with me. The story was just too busy--noisy--for me to pick up something that resonated personally. If you boil away all the detail, what are you left with here? A somewhat improbable, and disappointedly brief, intersection in the lives of two persons that apparently had no lasting effect on either. I need more from a story than that to enjoy it. But other readers will come away with an entirely different experience.
