J'ai bien aimé ce livre mais un peu compliqué à comprendre. Le début est bien et la fin aussi,le milieu du livre est plus compliqué.Marie-Laure est vraiment incroyable et Werner est vraiment aussi incroyable.La fin est très bien quand tout le monde se retrouve.

I thought this book was very interesting to me. I am accustomed to reading books that are about action and adventure, however, this book was about world history. I enjoyed reading this book because I am very interested in reading about World War II. At points I found this book to be confusing because the story kept changing between before and after the war. I thought Marie-Laure was a very intriguing character because she was blind. I loved reading this book and it always kept me on the edge of my seat.

I found this book to be an interesting book. Historical Fiction is not a type a book I would read, however, I did enjoy this book more than I thought I would. I thought it was cool that Marie-Laures Dad, David Le Blanc, created a minutiae neighborhood and town for Marie-Laure. It allowed Marie-Laure to know her surrounding and gave her independence .  David Le Blanc was a thoughtful man. One of my favorite parts is only two pages long. The chapter tittled "Flying Couch". The author shows you the relationships between Marie-Laure and her uncle Etienne. It is a kind, loving and educational relationship. Entienne and Marie-Laure go on wonderful believable adventures without ever leaving the davenport, or the couch. They both helped each other by escaping their own world for just a little bit.

I loved how Marie-Laure was a strong developing character. Even without her sight she still was able to accomplish so much and was able to face all the struggles. Emotion and physical struggles, I also like how the author included the Sea of Flames because for awhile it did seem like Marie-Laure was cursed. Even when Werner died, a person who "fell in love" with her sadly died in the end. It is a constant reminder that they are both sides to a story and one thing (such as Marie Laure reading) can change everything.

Je me suis accrochée à Marie-Laure et à Werner car Marie-Laure malgré son handicap s'imagine plein d'univers et se bat pour rester heureuse. Werner est un petit garçon vraiment très intelligent. Ce que j'ai le plus aimé c'est quand Werner et Marie-Laure se rencontrent et que Werner aide Marie-Laure pour avancer dans sa vie. Ma couleur pour ce livre serait le gris car c'était compliqué à lire mais j'ai quand même bien aimé. J'ai trouvé ce livre difficile à lire car auparavant je n'avait jamais lu un aussi gros livre mais j'ai réussi et j'en suis fière.

I thought it was amazing how much Marie-Laure was able to perceive without sight. I personally think my favorite sense is sight. Without it, it was hard to imagine, but Marie-Laure helps us find a way into her mind that shows what it's like. My favorite part of the book was the ending when the people who were actually still alive contacted each other. After about 500 pages of not knowing how it would turn out, I'm glad the author included what happened. My least favorite part was when Werner died. It was also really unexpected because he was one of the main characters and usually the main characters don't die, but then again there is still Marie-Laure. Overall I thought this book was really interesting and kept you on your toes.

J'ai bien aimée ce livre parce qu'on a le point de vu de deux pour l'aider à imaginer le monde avec des maquettes (Paris et St Malo) et des livres. Et de l'autre, Werner qui intègre l'armée. J'ai eu peur qu'il meurt sous l'immeuble. Je trouve ça incroyable qu'il est réussie a réparer la radio! J'ai bien aimée le moment où il se sont rencontrés. Werner ne l'a pas dénoncé pour la radio et il l'a aidé a avancer. Anthonie Doeer a écrit un livre incroyable!

J'ai trouvé ce livre très passionnant car il montre à la fois le point de vue d'une fille française et aveugle et à la fois le point de vue d'un jeune allemand qui doit quitter sa sœur pour intégrer l'école. J'ai adoré le moment où Werner et Marie-Laure se rencontrent car il la sauve et l'aide à partir deSaint-Malo. J'ai trouvé très émouvant le moment où le père de de Marie-Laure lui dit qu'il part mais qu'il va bientôt revenir alors qu'en fait il se fait arrêter car il prenait des mesures de la ville pour la maquette de Marie-Laure mais les allemands ne veulent pas le croire. Grâce à ce livre j'ai pus réaliser à quel point je suis proche de ma famille et je serais triste si je devait quitter ma famille comme Werner. Il m'a aussi fait réaliser à quel point ma vue est importante.

J'ai bien aimé ce livre car j'admire le courage de Marie-Laure et de Werner à affronter les difficultés de la guerre.L'handicap de Marie-Laure lui a permis de développer ses autres sens (l'ouïe et le toucher) et Werner de s'améliorer à réparer des radios. Ce livre démontre bien les difficultés à rester en vie pendant la guerre. J'ai été triste d'apprendre la mort de Werner. Au final j'ai été contente de finir un livre de 700 pages en 2 mois ce qui n'était pas gagné...

It seems a former message just disappeared. I don't know if you had the opportunity to read it but shortly I just wanted to tell you how positively impressed Iam to discover your comments. Most giving new lights on the story according to your own sensitivity.
Thanks again Ms Veitch to make us share this reading.
I was also telling you how interested I was a year ago, to discover this part of History through the eyes of Marie Laure, so courageous and Werner, so brilliant. I won't say more since you already told a lot about them.
After a while, just have a second thought on the other characters and what we learn about the war through them : Jutta, Frau Elena, Frederick, his old neighbour, the Hitler youth, the german characters the "perfumer" but also Mme Manec, her friends...
We'll have time to talk about it soon when you're here :-)

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce livre. Car même si c'est la guerre et que tout va mal, le personnage de Marie Laure arrive à être toujours positif. Wern est lui aussi très courageux. Mon passage prefere est celui ou Werner passe les examens d'entrée à l'académie militaire du Reich. Ce qui est un peu difficile au début c'est de comprendre les changements d'epoque dans les chapitres.

# data[].attributes.body
Toute la lumière que nous ne pouvons voir est un roman que j'ai bien aimé, surtout quand Werner et Marie-Laure se rencontrent. J'ai trouvé le livre un peu compliqué à comprendre à certains moments. Je suis contente car souvent je n'aime pas les livres historique mais celui-ci m'a plus.

# data[].attributes.body
C'est la première fois que je lisais un roman historique et j'ai bien aimé même si je trouve qu'il est un peu compliqué à lire. Au début j'ai eu un peu de mal à me plonger dans l'histoire avec les changements de personnages. Toutefois la rencontre entre Werner et Marie-Laure m'a beaucoup plus.

# data[].attributes.body
Ce livre est très bien écrit, il mérite le prix pulitzer. Seulement il faut faire attention au chapitre pour le nom du personnage qui parle, c est un petit peu perturbant. Sinon il est intéressant, surtout quand Werner et Marie-Laure se rencontrent, c'est très émouvant. J aime les livres qui parlent de la seconde guerre mondiale.

I thought this was a great book. I was very intrigued by both of the characters, Marie-Laure and Werner. Marie-Laure, who was blind, gave me a realistic insight into the life of a blind person.

But the character that intrigued me the most was Werner, mainly just how smart he was and how easily he figured stuff out that most people found hard. For example, I liked it when a Nazi commander searched out Werner to come and fix his radio since the professional the Nazi commander hired to fix the radio could not fix it and how Werner fixed it with almost complete ease.

Werner learned all this only by listening to people on the radio talk about science and mechanics. That knowledge helped Werner later on in his life to be able to fix radios. People who lived near his orphanage asked for him to come and fix their radios. He could use radios to find others. For example, when Werner was at the academy, Dr. Hauptmann had Werner use his radio to find and locate Volkheimer's transmission. And later in the book,  Werner and his squad were able to find and stop illegal broadcasts around Germany, Poland, France, and other countries and kill the broadcasters.

I thought it was sad how the connection between Werner and his sister just kind of disappeared after he left for the army and he could not receive any of his sister's letters. That made me think what if I lost my connection with my family and I could not hear from any of them or write to any of them. If that happened, I might go insane.

Overall, I really liked this book and thought it was very intriguing. I can;t wait to read this author again.

I absolutely love this book! It was very intriguing and beautifully written! I enjoyed both perspectives! Especially Marie-Laure's part. I loved Marie-Laure's strength and determination and her overcoming being blind, although she was struggling at the beginning (in the part titled "Key Pound") she pushed through an used her other senses such as touch and smell and persevered.
I felt sad for Marie-Laure because of the boys who started teasing her saying that the Nazi's were going to lock her up first along with the disabled. Although she was blind and other people doubted her, her father was patient and helped her though ignoring what people were saying. I loved how us readers were able to picture what was happening through Marie-Laure's imagination.
Werners part was just as
fascinating. I loved his care for his sister Jutta in the very beginning and his curiosity, when he found a radio. I was a little upset with Werner when he sort of lost his care for his sister when the two older boys Hans Schilzer and Herribert Pomsel joined Hitler Youth and scared all the younger children in the orphanage by picking on the younger kids and crumpling Jutta's drawings. instead of standing up he kept his head down and let it happen. I was crushed when Werner was taken to war and practically forced to become a soldier. I was happy when Werner started writing letters to his sister.
In conclusion, Werner and Marie-Laure overcame all their obstacles. Marie-Laure uses her other senses and imagination to overcome being blind and Werner kept writing letters to Jutta and eventually overcame the war.

Toutes la lumière que nous ne pouvons voir est un très beau livre car nous avons l'aventure de Werner et Marie-Laure qui sont dans 2 pays ennemis mais arrivent tout de même à s'apprécier . Mon passage préféré et quand Werner et Marie-Laure se rencontrent . J 'ai eu un peu de mal a le lire mais je l'ai quand même apprécié Pendant les vacances, j'ai rencontré une amie anglaise qui lisait ce même livre mais en version anglaise, bien évidemment . Nous avons pu échanger sur le livre mais aussi remarquer des fautes de traduction . J'ai aussi pu échanger avec la libraire de Liffré qui ma'a donné beaucoup de renseignements sur le livre et qui m'a même proposé une bande dessinée que nous pourrons peut-être également lire .

This book has many different layers to it. I think that it started off kind of slow and then picked up towards the middle none the less I still enjoyed all of it. I think Anthony Doerr does an amazing job while telling the story through Marie-Laure's point of view because since she can't see, most of the details we get are from her father telling her, her using other senses (such as smell or hearing), or her imagination creating these scenarios. I think that part of the reason that the story is so captivating is because even though Marie-Laure is blind the author still manages to give us a pretty good picture of what her surroundings look like. i also enjoyed Werner's point of view but my favorite was Marie-Laure.

# data[].attributes.body
This book is a great read! I enjoyed it a lot. I think that the way it is written, with the split character perspectives, is unique and very interesting. My favorite parts to read were the parts in Marie-Laure's point-of-view because I enjoy reading about all of those minor details Marie-Laure notices. Like when she steps on the whelk (in the part titled " Etienne"). Just by touching it she knows what it is and by telling us the reasons behind why she knows it's a whelk, even if the reader doesn't know what a whelk is, he or she gets a pretty good picture of what it looks like. I kind of relate to her, too. I also have cataracts (congenital not bilateral). I'm not blind but if I don't have surgery I could lose a high percentage of my vision. I really admire Marie-Laure's strength and courage.

This book was amazing. When I finished the book, I felt so bad for Marie-Laure because she had known a war was going on but she had no idea what it looked like. Her whole life was in her imagination. She didn't even know what she looked like. I never  thought about being able to see untill I read this book. Sight is reallly is an amazing thing. As I read the book it got better and better. Every detail in the  book is so fascinating. I really liked this book. I can't wait to see what was only in Marie -Laure's head. Thank you for having us read this amazing book

I love the book a lot and I'm over half way done with it I'm at the part where the Nazis are at the museum trying to find The Sea of Fire. I love the part when Werner went over to the Nazis generals house (i forgot his name) and fixed his very fancy radio and he found out about the Nazis school, but I also love the scene where Marie-laurie
meets her great uncle for the first time.

I'm halfway through the book and my favorite part of the book so far is when Werner did the "auditions" the the very elite school and I thought the chapters were very descriptive and I think Anthony Doerr did a good job presenting the fact that it was a hard audition.
