Wonderful character development

I love his writing style. Short, powerful descriptive chapters. Not quite as good as All the Light but an enjoyable read filled with just enough suspense to keep you turning pages. It is easy to close your eyes and see the characters.

Infinitely thoughtful and creative, just sad the book came to an end. Could have kept reading and reading this story - that gives the most lovely perspective about life and love.
Amazing wordsmith, indulgent at times

Perhaps I shouldn’t have read this after All the Light We Cannot See, because I expected to love About Grace just as much. Doerr is still just as brilliantly talented in his prose, but his characters weren’t quite as hauntingly vivid.
The book grips you from the beginning, but I did feel like it hit a bit of a plateau for the last 1/3 of the book. And the ending, what the heck? But still, very much worth the read.
