All The Light We Cannot See

From Goodreads:

 Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When Marie-Laure is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge

From Me:

3 Stars.

This book won the Pulitzer Prize?

Hmmmm.

I hate when everyone loves a book and I just like it.

I feel literary insignificant.

Like I stand on the outside and can't get in.

Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic... I liked it fine, I  just didn't love it.

There were good things...

It kept my interest.  The writing was good and the author really made me 'see' where his story took place.  I really wanted to see how the two stories (Werner's and Marie-Laure's) would converge.

Then, I was a bit disappointed.  It was so brief.  

But that's just me.  Some of my friends and fellow bloggers loved it.

An interesting side note.  

3 of my book clubs chose this book to read, review, talk about  for this month.

That has never happened before.

Stay tuned and I'll let you know what everyone in my book-clubs thinks of this book!
