I am so looking forward to reading this book.
Tonight I finished listening to this wonderful story and it's one of the best books that I have listened to in a long time.
The narration was absolutely brilliant and the book made me feel so many emotions it was unreal.
There is no glory in war only heartache and I am not ashamed to say this book made me cry.
I am most certainly going to listen to this audiobook again in the very near future.
Very highly recommended. ...more

Após as duas últimas leituras acerca da WWII, muito badaladas e que para mim foram medianas, ainda bem que apostei neste livro.
Retrata a ocupação nazi em França, mas cruza as histórias de dois jovens, cada um com os seus sonhos, com os seus medos, a atravessarem um dos períodos mais negros da história da humanidade. Gostei muito das personagens principais mas também das outras. A dedicação do pai de Marie-Laure é tocante. As descrições dos livros de Júlio Verne encaixam na perfeição.

Ok, so it seems this didn't work out for me as I thought it would. As I expected it to work. Even better, I was expecting to really like this book, after all it's a story taking place during WWII, but I didn't know much about it, I had read the synopsis more than a year ago and could no longer remember it, but I just couldn't.
The fairytale appearance was cute but I could do without, Marie-Laure could be charming and was indeed brave, but I didn't feel the connection with her, the writing was cer ...more

This was an amazing, beautiful, horrifying book. The characters and setting were well realized. I loved how radio and science interconnected the characters. The sadism of the Nazis and the hideous waste of life and potential was disturbing and heartbreaking. I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. I’ll write more later . . .
