One of my favorite books of the last ten years. Somehow evokes a feeling of lightness despite being weighty physically and narratively. I enjoy the excitement with which Doerr writes.

I felt the same way. The plot itself is heavy and depressing, but the book felt so magical and immersive, I couldn't help but be happy while reading it. It's one of those few books I can confidently say I'll be keeping for the rest of my life to reread every now and then.
