Wonder

Sweet story, but I think I was expecting something more powerful.

ETA: Changed my rating to 2 stars (2.5 really), because it was leaning more towards “It was ok” than “I liked it”. Tough call.

A beautifully told story of a boy who faces so many challenges at school because of his appearance. He's really a cool kid but people keep him at arms length - that is until someone finally breaks from the pack and shows him some decency. Not all follow suit at once, but it goes to show that sometimes it only takes one small act of kindness to turn things around. Such a simple idea, yet such a complex concept for most.

Se potessi gliene darei dieci di stelline. È un libro stupendo! È commuovente, vero, bello. Da non dimenticare mai quello che insegna. Da leggere assolutamente.
