Best novel I've read all year
It took me awhile but after a thousand recommendations from friends I finally picked up this book. Beautifully written & expertly paced, this book will pull at you in new & strange ways. ...more

I know everyone LOVES this book but I just can't get interested in it. Partially because I am not interested in WWII fiction, partially because I just couldn't get invested in the characters or plot. I quit it about halfway through when I realized I was reading out of a feeling of obligation rather than enjoyment.

This was stunning.
I mean, seriously, believe the hype. Doerr has an incredible way with words, phrasing things in ways that are so unlike most authors. He doesn't just tell the story, he paints a picture and you get lost in the vibrant colors. It's a gem to read through and you won't be able to put it down and at the same time, you'll be sad when it's over. ...more

I loved the writing in the novel! I read it slow because it's one of those reads that is about the journey not the ending. (Popsugar Challenge: a book that's been on TBR list for way too long). Trio B.C.

If a book can make me actually have dreams about it, then it gets five stars from me.
LOVE LOVE LOVED it
Set during WWII, with two main characters on opposing sides who find a brief but meaningful connection. What I liked most about this was that there was less time devoted to showcasing the large-scale horrors of war and more about the everyday choices people make during times of crisis.
If you’re looking for a happy ending, however, this is not for you.
