review 1: I liked the story, well really I liked the love, but I had trouble with Marianne. Her decisions and thought processes in regards to her relationship with Keir (I love that name) and James made me angry and dislike Marianne. OK, I know she is blind and that her past experience with love has made her fearful. I get it, but I don't feel any empathy with it. Each time she acted cold and hateful, that is what I felt, very cold and hateful toward her. So I spent a lot of the book angry with Marianne. Every other character was like magic, so wonderful, especially Keir. He was a character to fall in love with, and as a reader I did. I also was amazed by Louisa's patience, Garth was a total sweetie. When Marianne let herself love she was, herself is what I guess I want to say. When... more she let herself love. But you will see how cold-heartedly logical she tries to be. That was when I hated her, she had no heart then, well she did but she was hiding it, making it shut up because she thought if she loved she would lose, again. Written in a less than realistic fashion, more magical, but that suited me very well. I wanted the magic, I wanted the love. It is a bit of a manipulative book, written to tweak emotions; I knew it and accepted that, I was willing to be emotionally tweaked, although I didn't enjoy disliking the main character so much. Did she really have to be such a "crabbit"? Hopefully Keir will give her so much love that she will blossom into someone capable of loving without constant fear. Haha, I am giving these characters a future!
review 2: Ver o mundo pelos olhos de um cego é algo desconhecido para uma pessoa "normal" mas este livro mostra que perdemos tantas coisas, ignoramos tanto pelos nossos outros sentidos só porque conseguimos ver. Marianne sente a música da natureza, o toque das árvores, o som da água da chuva, coisas que nós tomamos como certas e que nem nos passa pela cabeça tomar atenção.Ela é tratada de forma diferente só por ser cega mas, então, surge Keir, que a trata como se fosse qualquer outra pessoa e fala com ela como se pertencesse a esse mundo sem imagens, só sons. Ele explica-lhe as paisagens em comparação com músicas e ela assim percebe tudo o que não conseguiu perceber em 45 anos. Sendo viúva, tenta evitar o que sente por ele mas ele conquista-a com a sua forma de ser e a aceitação que tem pela condição dela. Mais do que tudo, ele ensina-a a ver as estrelas. less
