I'm... not a fan of this one. I see the reason for the hype (I think), but this book isn't my kind of thing.
Yeah, it flows well and I was able to read through it quickly in one morning. It can be considered heart-warming and perhaps make some change their thinking. I'm just not sure what all the crazy hype is about.
I felt like the story started and ended with no change, nothing new. I wish there had been some consequences for the bullying. I wish the ending had been different because it felt focused on the crowd, the neurotypicals, and not Auggie. Why is he getting an award for kindness? Why is any of it happening except for everyone else to feel better about themselves?
