lmkennedy 's review for:

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
3.0
dark emotional tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I wish I liked this but the oddness of the diamond plot really kept pulling me out of the story. 

I also really am not a fan of the way Doerr tries to create a bit of empathy for Germans in this story, specifically the end where he mentions there is no monument to Germans who died in France… really just not great
