I entirely understand when people say the book is too detailed or too slow, it's not for everyone, but it was perfect to me. I love Anthony Doerr's writing and he is one of the few that do not bore me when describing scenery or seemingly mundane character moments. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and did a mix of physical book and audiobook. The same narrator that did Beartown (Marin Ireland) did this book and I'm so very glad she did.

A really enjoyable read about how the love of stories can connect people through time and space. Maybe a little bit of a shallow read but it absolutly succeeds at what it's trying to do. This definitely got me to cry because I'm a sucker for stories about how stories connect us all. Absolutely would recommend!
i think i cried at 80% of the chapters from Zeno's perspective absolutely devistating but so good

this was extremely long and the perspectives would shift whenever something interesting was starting to happen
i also feel like the part that's set in the future could have been more developed, as some elements felt really confusing and random (i really wanted to know more about the disease, for example)
besides that, the plot twists were pretty good and the way the author wove the stories together was very well done
