All the Light We Cannot See is a rare gem among WWII novels - and not only because a gem plays an important role. What makes the book so special is that it is so positive even though a lot of harm comes to most characters and not all storylines come to an happy end.The book tells the story of two pr...

This is one the first non-dystopian/fantasy books that I’ve read in quite some time, and I am glad that Net Galley recommended it!It took me a minute to get into this book. It switched POVs and goes back and forth in time. The way the book is separated by dates and goes back and forth is a little co...

After finally getting over my book slump, I decided to read a highly-rated book, All the Light We Cannot See.I wished I picked better. You see, it took me a month to finish this.

It has taken me five weeks to trawl through this novel. I found it way too descriptive, especially the first third, where, if I'd wanted to picture every image, I'd still only be half way through the book. I hate skipping sections of books, but I had no choice.One character remains with us throughou...

I’m a huge voice fan. And last fall I had the tremendous good luck to see Zach Appelman as Hamlet at The Hartford Stage. If it hadn’t been the last day, I would have gone back as often as possible, sacrificing groceries and any bills necessary – and books – to see it again and again. Books. This was...

You know just when you use all faith in Bestseller Lists because of the success of 50 Shades of Abuse . . . Sorry, 50 Shades of Grey, a book like this comes along. Read this knowing that it has spent 60 weeks on the NYT Bestseller List, the same list where Grey has been shown...
