I am more impressed with this book as I read on. The writing style reminds me of poetry at times, so much imagery. Of course one of the main characters is blind, but even with that, there is more to description than physical accuracy. Somehow, Doerr manages to capture the reality of emotions like hope, fear, and doubt through act and image. Beautifully done.

As I get deeper into this story, I feel closer to the reality that humanity in Europe had to deal with during WWII. It really makes my present era stand in serious contrast to what so many people have had to endure in times past. The visual and almost poetical descriptions blow me away. Anthony Doerr is a powerful writer and a serious commentator on the human condition.

The librarian in our small community library offered me this book yesterday, and I had a reeealy hard time putting it down last night. Wonderfully written! WWII setting and a blind girl's point of view and a genius little boy's pov as they survive in a tumultuous world. I'll be up late tonight...
