Don't really know how I felt about this one.

The good: the character and plotline of Marie-Laure, the writing style, the descriptions of a blind person getting around in the world and the detail of how they would do so. I really liked all the characters in Saint-Malo, I liked the way they all rallied together to look after Marie-Laure, I especially liked Etienne and I liked the way it wasn't a very happy  ending.

The bad: the character and plotline of Werner, the weird coincidence at the end when he just managed to make his way into her home with seconds to go before she would have been killed, the way the plot jumped back and forth. I don't mind when books aren't linear, but this was jumping back and forth between the space of only a few years and it was really annoying. I would get to a new chapter which was in 1944 and I would have to flip back because I couldn't remember if the previous chapter was 1942, 1948, or also 1944. Werner as a character I found really flat. The most interesting character in his storyline was Jutta, and she was barely in it.

So, overall...meh
