This book is set in Germany and France. It is a dual point book about a german boy and a french girl. Werner the boy has a talent for fixing littary everything and he gets accsepted into a schol where he is trained to be in the third reich.Marie, the french girl is blind. She ‘survives' with the help of books.Obviouslt the war happens and well Marie moves for refugee and blablabla. No need to summerize it all.When first starting to read this book I felt it was hard to be motivated from it. It felt real slow and just tidious to get it moving. The writing style for me seemed almost like a real bad cartrip. The gas is pressed and it rushes in full speed before suddenly it coming to a full stop. Almost like at times, he uses too long on small details I was not really intrsted in. But rushed past intresting stuff.He does howver get some small point for his choices in adjectives and generally discibing. He is goof at making things sound pretty, realistic and just generally a wide language.I was real disepointed in just how little time the two mc got together. I wanted more, way more. I bearly even felt connetcted with them BOTH before they wre seperated again.I did not overall like this book too much honestly. Has to be a 2/5 for me. Only getting a few minor points
