The characters were ok, the narration interesting, but a masterpiece? Those who like a story that is plot-driven, not so much. Read the world’s #1 book summary of All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr here. Do we know why Frederick was so pushed by his family to attend the Nazis school where he obviously did not belong? And so the novel is far too long. Marie-Laure’s father is investigated and taken away, ending up in a German camp. Dr Bianca Best. There's no doubt this is a fantastic book.

Categories: At the same time, we meet little Werner Pffenig, and orphan who lives in an orphanage in Germany with his sister, Jutta, under the maternal eye of Elena, the French matron.
Who is the giant Werner meets at training school who terrifies all the boys by his presence?
What must Marie Laura find in ‘the house ‘ at Etienne’s - the last command her father gave her before he left for the museum? © 2020 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. Both the main characters are likable, inquisitive, and sympathetic; the side characters are also endearing and wonderful companions.
Marie-Laure is six years old when the novel begins in Paris in 1934, where she lives with her beloved Papa, a locksmith and keeper of the keys at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. That is his great skill, working with all things electrical, especially radio transmitters. Brit Bennett.
The language in the book is perhaps one of the most important bits, it is written with such rich and lively details that at times, I could almost see myself in places where Marie-Laure was or where Werner was. Etienne and Marie-Laure are responsible for some of these transmissions, but Werner is intrigued since what she’s broadcasting is innocent—she shares her passion for Jules Verne by reading aloud 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Somehow it is strange to listen to the thoughts of Marie-Laure and Werner and the many other characters, both German and French, give forth such Yankee utterances as "Werner … you shouldn't think big." The pursuit of the Sea of Flame continues as the US Air Force blasts the walled city to smithereens two months after the D-Day landings. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2017. This shopping feature will continue to load items when the Enter key is pressed. It is such a page-turner, entirely absorbing: one of those books in which the talent of the storyteller surmounts stylistic inadequacies and ultimately defies one's better judgment. 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. A book topping the charts for weeks and weeks hardly needs my help, but I’m going to do this one the favor of a recommendation anyway. Werner in Berlin is a curious child, a child with the talent for putting things together, like radios, he and his sister Jutta live in an orphanage.
This evolved into a powerful account of the effects of WW2 on two innocent children during the occupation of France.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2018. Eyes are wounded, nights are luminous and starlit, seagulls are alabaster. I guess it's not, after reading your review.. A novel for baby boomers and millennials alike.
Its very high ratings (4.3; half of the ratings are "5's") renews my faith that GR ratings count for something. A page turning, brilliantly sensitive story of courage, love and the cruelty of war, studded with characters we all recognise! For example, open a Doerr—something written by Anthony Doerr, that is. This is a sprawling 530-page novel, winner of this year’s Pulitzer prize for fiction, about a girl and her father in Paris, and what befalls them when the Nazi occupation of Paris drives them out. In a parallel story, a young boy in Germany, Werner, an orphan, comes to the notice of the Nazis for his astonishing skill at fixing radios, and this leads to his relocation to an elite school aimed at providing skills for the Reich.

He is a boy of seven with white hair, like snow, whose presence is "like being in the room with a feather". So, I know I should be oohing and ahhing over this book, but it just wasn't for me.
