I really appreciate the author and I want to say thank you to her, the book teach me a lot about friendship and many lessons about life that I have never been taught before. Even though, I don’t even know who is the author but I think she have a beautiful soul inside, I can tell it from reading her book. I has created such a great book with meaningful story, if you not read “Wonder”, the you have waste your life to live.
When I read the book, I don’t really care about the who is author or who write this book and all I care about is the content of the book. What the book is talk about is more important than who wrote it, the story that author delivery to us is really close to us and familiar to any of us. I believe that this is a true story and base on that the author write this book, the story about the kid name August, who was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school but then he joined the fifth grade at Beecher Prep school. As a normal kid if you’ve ever been a new school, then you will find a lot of difficult such as new friends, new classes, new teachers,… and just imagine I know how hard it can be. But August is special, he never go to school before, he was homeschool and believe or not he will find more difficult than you do, life is not fair for August because he have many disadvantages than everybody. Can August convince his new classmates that he just like them, despite his downside? that all you need to find out in the book wonder.
This book is perfectly suitable for all age from children to adult. The language that the author is using in the book is easy to understand, I cannot find any difficult about vocabulary in this book, if so it really easy to guess what is happening in the book without understand every single word. Thing I like from this book is the way that the author try to give a chance to every characters to “speak”, we all know that the main character is August but he not tell you about his story all the time, but there are his sister, his friend, his sister’s boyfriend and all of them tell us about their story. Every story are connect to each other and you would not understand the story if you miss any part of it. Thing that I expect more from this book is the drawing, there are not much drawing, it does have some but very bad drawing, each character only have a round head, hair and one big eye to illustrate themselves. I’m not expect for better drawing but I want more drawing from the book, for example the author sometime put the image of August have argument or even when he ran away from his friends. If I can rate this book in scale from 0 to 10, I would give 8.5 and I think it is right, this book is amazing and actually really good, I can only find one weak point from it, it’s good for both education and entertain.
If I have a chance to read this book again, I will because I cannot wait for the next book coming. I know I ‘m just guessing, I really want to read about August more when he grow up like me, how he do in high school and even in college, I guarantee it would be much more interesting than in fifth grade. The story have an open ending, that you can understand it in many ways and I believe that the adventure of Auggie have not end yet. I really want to know more, please Palacio continue your writing and keep it up. ...more "
