Book Post

For this last blog post on All The Light We Cannot See, I want to talk both about the Sea of Flames and my opinion of the book. First of all, the Sea of Flames is a small stone that has incredible value as it has heavy historical significance. So my question is why did the museum owner give the stone and its copies to employees instead of people who would be better fit for the job? It made me mad seeing as the stone was nearly lost tons of time because, honestly, I don't believe Marie's father was the right person to give the stone to. Also, at the end of the book, the stone is thrown into the water by Marie. WHY?!?! The stone was so sought after and it has no real significance to her, so why throw it away and not sell it? It just makes me mad when an author tries to make a character so perfect that they turn down obviously free spoils of war. No one in the real world would have thrown away that much money so why would the author make her do it? Over all this book was a nice read and I would recommend it as an airplane book but something you should spend a lot of time analyzing? Not really.
