This book is an extraordinary testament to the power of a single book. In this case, a lost copy of a work by Antonius Diogenes - loosely translated as Cloud Cuckoo Land. The work moves across time and place from the 15th century siege leading to the capture of Constantinople by the Ottomans, into the 20th and 21st centuries around a small town in Idaho, and a perhaps not-so-distant future and spaceship traveling to a new world. Anthony Doerr captures both your attention and imagination as he traces the survival of an obscure text across the centuries. More significantly, we realize the impact this book has on each stop of its life. The book received tremendous praise and deserves every bit.… (mais)

A re-read of a great literary novel. It's like a great symphony; each time you listen to it, you see and learn something new.

Lastly, if you've seen the TV drama of the same name, ignore it. What the film makers should have done is handled the subject like the "Band Of Brothers" adaptation of Stephen Ambrose's historical account. All The Light We Cannot See" could have been adapted in maybe six, one-hour episodes. As it is, it looked great but had little of the charm and magic of the novel. So five stars for the book, and a hearty "don't bother" for the adaptation.… (mais)

I really admired the structure of this book, the way the interconnections are slowly revealed. The characters are interesting, and, especially in the cases of Zeno and Seymour, poignant.
My one nitpick, if you have a librarian character, do not name her marian. Every time I came across her , music man would go through my head and take me out of the story.

What a lovely and terrible book.

I feel like I have the bends from coming up too fast… my mind is still in the dark attic, listening to Clare de Lune and the last few chapters of 20,000 leagues under the sea.
The plot was easy to follow and solidly constructed, despite the frequent changes in time period. The characters seemed fleshed out to me. I saw a critic in the guardian called Frederick a cardboard cut-out, but I got the feeling it was just because the critic couldn’t believe in a good person.

I felt the influence of the Victorians, if someone has done something bad, the plot will exact penance, I wished it could have ended differently.
I’m a huge Moonstone fan, so couldn’t help but think about that. If you throw away a cursed diamond, does that relieve you of the curse?
