Review I guess there's a reason why this book has won so many awards and why everybody is talking about it. I have eyed this book ever since it first came out last year but usually I'm not so much interested in stories that play during the Second World War. Don't get me wrong, I do love historical books, but much more these that play in the medieval age. However, I'm happy that I got a chance to review it and it's nice to step out of the genre I usually read. This book is beautiful. And I mean, b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! I guess I have never read a book that is so descriptive and also imaginary as this one. Even if you were yourself blind and you could imagine it. I really liked Marie-Laure. She's an amazing character who doesn't give up. It's facinating how she manages her way, even alone. I love how much her father cares for her, how much he explains to her and the idea with rebuilding the city with a smaller model. Werne is just as amazing as Marie-Laure, so are Madame Manec and Etienne. The characters are so well developed and well carried out, that I actually would love to meet the, The story is full of depth. I also found it dense at sometimes but that doesn't spoil the book. This book should be a must read at every school because it's fantastic.
