A masterpiece

This was so well written. I love Doerr's beautiful descriptive style and the way he interweaves the stories of the characters intricately together.

Loved the skipping around in time and place, fullfilling the thesis that mind and spirit aren't restricted to the linear progression of time and can fly through the air like birds or radio waves.
