I waited for a long time for All the Light We Cannot See to be available at the library. I heard from several friends that I needed to read it and I was eager to start. And WOW!! This was a phenomenal read. I loved it and didn’t want it to end. The way Doerr moved from past to more recent past and wove the stories together was masterful. The German and French perspectives, the way he put you in the character’s shoes, the language, the descriptions, all wonderful. I was going to give this one 5 stars (first one to earn it for me), but I didn’t love the ending, so I’ll stick with 4.5. But it’s a terrific read and I highly recommend it!
