I had no clue what it was about and the book clerk just told me it was a story about a disability. So I bought it. That's a good reason to buy a book, right?
It actually wasn't too bad of a book and made me think twice about our society today and the norms which we have created for ourselves. Not to say that the book was great, because it wasn't, but it definitely teaches the reader to question their own beliefs on human abilities and accessibilies and how we treat them. It was a journey for me and for the main character Charlie.
One thing that I would suggest is don't see the movie. I usually like to compare books and movies and observe the differences in the medium shift. If you do choose to see the movie or are being forced to for some reason, watch it sober. It's just THAT ridiculous!
Overall, I give this book a 3 out of 5. I raised it a bit because the movie was a waste of time BUT very entertaining. I also shut it off half way (So messed up!) So there you have it! 3/5, a review, a movie warning and some things to think about regarding our world.(less)
