I recently started and finished the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio in a period of 12 hours. Yes it is that amazing. Here is my review of it on goodreads:
This book. THIS FREAKING AMAZING WONDEFUL BOOK!!!! I can't get over this book right now. The amzing story. The amazing writing. The amazing... well, everything. Everything about this book is truly utterly amazing. Stories like these make me re-evaluate my own life. Honestly I view myself as a pretty decent human being but after reading this book I realize how many times I didn't quite make it there. I never did anything as bad as what happend to August in this book but there have been times that I haven't been a star human. This book absolutely needs to be required reading material for middle schoolers just so they know how not to act. I'm pretty sure that if I had read this book before high school there would be a lot of different things in my life. But enough about me. R.J. Palacio introduces August, I funny average middle school (even though fifth grade isn't really middle school) student who just wants to fit in. Unfortunately for him that is completely impossible because he has an unfortunate face abnormality that isn't completely specifeid in the book but I can draw a pretty good picture of it. The book follows August as he treis to be accepted by everyone in the school. Which most of the kids there don't seem to mind it that much... except Julien. Now a lot of you people out there probably absolutely hate Julien. Well I can tell you that is niave and you are wrong. If you want to blame anyone for what happens to August blame his mother. His mother is the most awful human being that probably has never existed. I mean in the beginning of the book I also hated Julien. By the middle of the book I hated a lot more people than Julien but I'm not going to get into that. But by the end of the book I only hated his mother and maybe his father. I mean they are the epitome of snobby rich New Yorkers. God they are just awful. Anyway, although he can never fit in he can truly be accepted and loved by the people around him, but the question is does he? If I haven't yet convinced you that this book is amazing know this: I started this at 5:00 p.m. March 25th and finished it at 3:00 a.m. March 26th. I didn't even stop to use the bathroom.
