Elizabeth asked this question about All the Light We Cannot See:
**HUGE SPOILER ALERT** Was anyone else as disappointed as I was with Werner's death? I was so mad after reading it. I thought it was pointless and dissatisfying, almost like Doerr was done with him after he and Marie-Laure met, though I'm sure the author thought long and hard about it. Any thoughts?

After all, how would his life continue, after it had been so ruined? What I can't decide is this.... Did Werner know he was stepping onto the minefield? I feel that he may have done so intentionally, knowing that he could have been so much more, had the war never happened. Although it gave him his "out" from a life in the mines, it also ruined him. How would he live with all he did, helping Volkheimer to kill with radio triangulations, and the death of the innocent girl?(less)
