All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

4.0

I’d give this book 3.5 stars if I could. On the positive side, it has beautifully descriptive language, likable lead characters, and a compelling setting. The more negative aspects were a confusing storyline (we have at least three to follow with no indication of where we are when the chapters begin), the book didn’t really pick up or engaged me until 2/3 of the way through, and I think I expected the main characters to have more interaction. While I would recommend others who read lots of books to read it, I would caution that it’s slow. As a fan of classic literature I’m accustomed to slow, but this book still took me six weeks to finish because I was never compelled to pick it back up.
