Doerr’s first novel is far too long, far too sentimental; you can see all the signs of what will make him a world-class writer but he’s not there yet; it wasn’t bad but I would only recommend this to completionists like myself.
Loved it as a kid, thought it was dumb in my 20s, now I’ve come back around on this classic sci-fi emo thriller, not only did it inspire a whole raft of culture in its wake, it’s honestly pretty inspiring and touching.
