This was not a book I picked out, it was recommended by two friends who had already passed the book between themselves. They both said it was ok, but nothing special. I completely agree with their assessment.
The book jumps back and forth between two opposing characters, a blind French girl and a radio genius German boy, both in their mid-teens. The French story line is exceedingly slow to take off. The German story line begins strong and then looses a little momentum. But together they make a pretty good balance, as one goes down, the other goes up.
The day after finishing this book, I saw that it was #6 on the Top Sellers List. I can't really think of anyone I would recommend this book to.
