All the Light We Cannot See

This book was so beautiful and haunting. I fell in love with so many of the characters, and loved how their lives were weaved together. Knowing the time period this was set in, I knew the ending would hurt. And it did, though I didn't shed as many tears as I expected.
The writing was incredible, the descriptions so vivid. It did a superb job of showing the reader how the characters felt through their actions, rather than telling. Whilst the short chapters (on average 1.5 pages) helped to make this read a little quicker, it was still quite a slow book. I really enjoyed being able to savour it and get to know the characters, however there were some points where it felt a little too dense and slow.

I agree. This book was good but there were definitely times it dragged on. I wanted to see the two characters meet for a longer time than they did too.

I agree with you. The writing of the book is sentimental, almost poetic, it drew me in! The book did drag on at times, but for me, I found it fast based at specific times when I wanted the author to elaborate much more.
I loved reading this book . But description is too dense , sometimes flawless.
Completely agreed. Loved the book, but at times it was too slow.
I agree complete Took me awhile and started out pretty slow
Solid 4.5 in my opinion
This is a beautiful written book. The short chapters make it quick and easy to read.
Good review. I like the short chapters. It made the book seem faster. There was so much going on, so many characters.
I like everything about this review except for the pace of the book. I thought that the book did not drag at all, especially when compared to something like Marry Shelley's Frankenstein.
