All the Light We Cannot See

We watched all 4 episodes last night too. Hadn't read the book and thought the dramatisation was excellent.

Oh, that’s interesting, as I just read a review saying how awful it was -

This is one of my favourite books, just started watching it on netflix.

An excellent book - never keen to see 'the film' once I've read the book tho'!

I binge watched it this afternoon. A little bit Disneyfied but I enjoyed it.

I liked the book as well.

I so enjoyed the book. Not sure I will watch the film.

Yes, I loved that book, but the reviews have put me off the tv series.

I've watched the first 3 episodes and read it previously. Very good. Netflix not as good as the book but not that bad,either.

Reviews only reflect the opinion of the reviewer. I often find that I disagree with a review I've read sometimes positive but sometimes negative too.

I've not read the book but have watched the Netflix series. I thought it very well acted especially the main blind actress.
Reviews are only what one person sees. I always like to make my own mind up about what I am watching.
One can always turn it off it not liking what they are seeing.

I read the book, I quite liked it, thought it had an unusual quality about it. Having said that it wouldn't join my list of very "best books" though,

I haven't seen the Netflix production.

Who is the author please?

Author is Anthony Doerr. I am reading this book at present.

Charleygirl15 I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It's a story that 'stays with you'. The book is by Anthony Doerr.

Aldom I am partially sighted so I thought I would try it. I heard about it through RNIB Talking Newspapers which I receive.

I loved the book, easy writing style, engaging characters and emotional story. However, the Netflix series was disappointing. Acting is generally good, but the dialogue felt awkward and a bit cheesy.

I saw episode one of the Netflix drama but didn't enjoy it. Perhaps I wasn't in the mood for such a cartoon bad guy and brave good girl story. Parts of it felt very derivative so I just gave up on it. Lots of other things to watch. Sorry fans of this programme but it was not for me.

I loved the book and it stayed with me, as Aldom says. I don't want to spoil that with watching the film (although if I run out of good things to watch, I may change my mind.)

I watched it on Netflix. Absolutely loved it.

The book is excellent; the film is not. I was very disappointed in it.

I loved the book and read it recently . I often find that film adaptations are not as good as the original books.

We are watching " fool me once" on netflix based on the book by harlen coben. Good film, I havnt read the book though so nothing to compare

My DH read the book through the RNIB talking books. Thousands to choose from and they're all free.

Loved the book and enjoyed the series.
