You can find this, and other reviews, on my blog.Wonder was a really interesting book. This is the story of August, a young boy with severe facial abnormalities, as he goes to school for the very first time. It’s told primarily from the perspective of Auggie himself, with alternating chapters of the...
Jumping on the bandwagon – loved it, absolutely loved it. I laughed, I cried, all that jazz. Funny too, because based on the description (a boy with a severe facial deformity attends school for the first time) I did NOT want to read this. It sounded like the biggest downer or, worse, a goopy feel ...
In one word: Sweet.Wonder is one of the books that make me wonder about things (sorry, I just had to do that). Like—it’s not a particularly groundbreaking tale. In fact, it doesn’t bring much “new” to the table. It’s easy and quick to read, warms hearts, and has a good message. It’s something that a...
"Wonder" really works well in touching the human heart. Here we have a child with an unfortunate condition but he is surrounded by loving family and gains new loving friends. Written in a narrative style, the author brings in different characters and we learn of them as they write from their viewpoi...

It reminds me of cake. One piece of cake is great, but if you try to eat an entire cake by yourself, you'll get sick. Thi...
This is a FANTASTIC book that touches on all sorts of big important things for kids. I loved it. I can't believe it took me so long to read this. If you are thinking about reading this book, do. Do it right now. You won't regret it. August and his family will make you feel good. I promise
Such a good read! They multiple views of the issue really gets you thinking. I love a book that gets you thinking. I really liked auggie, he's a hero in my eyes. I doubt i would ever be as strong as he is, ever.
God. This book.I started it yesterday, thinking "Uplifting? Happy? Exactly what I need!"Look where that got me. Crying in my bed at midnight.Not ugly crying, but still.Stupid book.UPDATE (6/6/2014): This is not a necessary update at all, but I just wanted to add that while I was reading [b:Flat-Out ...
