All the Light We Cannot See

A very well-written story and an interesting story, though the ending was “meh.”

My main complaint is one I have had with recent books; the author's tendency to move the story back and forth in time, sometimes (as it was in this story) to the point of confusion. I understand the use of that for a story mechanism such as in “The Time Traveler's Wife” but could find no such need in this book. There were too many times in this story that something would happen that was almost incomprehensible until you read the flashback 3 or 4 chapters later, almost as if the author had mixed up the order of his chapters.

Still, that is a matter of style and I do not hesitate to give the book a solid rating based on the story, characters and plot.
