Reread review and review after watching the Miniseries…..
I read All the Light We Cannot see a couple of years back. It was on my shelf for a long time until I finally decided to read it. From the first time I read I I absolutely loved this book and I still do! I picked it up again because of the Netflix Miniseries which I watched and decided to read the book again.
I have to say there are similarities and differences to to book and miniseries but I can understand the reasons for the changes. That being said I like them both differently.
This is a book I would always recommend. It is a beautifully written book, easy to read and made me interested in the engineering and science throughout the book. And also made me want to read twenty thousand leagues under the seas! The characters are all well written with great character development. The book is also broken up into different timelines and each part adds to the connection between past and present and the relationship and connections of each individual character.
I also recommend the miniseries it was pretty good. I can look past Mark Rufflo accent… only alittle bit…
