Book 17: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

My friend lent me this book just after I had abandoned War and Peace. I really enjoyed it. I loved the main characters Marie-Laure and Werner. The secondary characters were layered and memorable. 

I loved reading a blind person's POV. Marie-Laure's descriptions evoked rich images. 

A nitpick: the nonlinear timeline. I usually like a nonlinear timeline, but not this time. It worked at the beginning of the book. Later I didn't get why it was done. 

I realized that I haven't read much on the World War II era. The next book I read is also about WWII.

P.S. Apparently a Netflix film of the novel is in the works. I'll look for it.
