I absolutely get why this is a classic. Just when I thought things went from interesting to entertaining (with a teenage narrator on a ship with buccaneers)…the author switched the narrator to a middle aged doctor on the ship. BOLD move! Love it. REALLY daring—it pairs well with pirates.

I've been listening to this about 10-15 minutes a day. (I still have a CD player in my vehicle and for the first 3 CDs I was pretty lost.) I'm now on CD 7 and it's getting really good! It takes a while to understand the housing & stock lingo, but now they are covering the crash of the housing market and it's nuts.

I’m reading the English version called “Invisible Differences”…not the French original! I can’t find the English option on Goodreads.

I’m 9.5 hours in. We are just getting some glimpses into how all the storylines will connect. It’s killing me…in the best way! Doerr is too good for this world. My oh my.

I love Beth Moore so much. I don't want this book to end. Also, the telling of her past is so tragic + beautiful I can only take a little at a time.

Just like "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"...these can be read in ANY order. :0)

Owen loved this just as much the second time. I love that it doesn’t matter what order you read these in…it’s like a kids literary sitcom. Haha.

Another DOAWK that Owen loved!
