I’m glad we saw insights into Julian’s psyche. His grandmother’s story about being in the Holocaust was unexpected but gave a good parallel to not judging a book by its cover when it comes to people. I’m happy that Julian grew as a person and felt remorse.

Interesting to hear the other side of bullying.

R. J. Palacio does such a wonderful job of getting into the head of 5th grade boys that it's amazing she wasn't one. This is an excellent supplement to "Wonder". I didn't expect to find Julian so understandable. This book doesn't justify his actions during "Wonder", but it does remind us that there are two sides to every story. This was a quick read, and it even brought me to tears at one point, so I can definitely give it five stars.

Oh, Tourteau!

Yep, ok.
Wow.

Oh Julian. A wonderful ending to the story. He was completely against Auggie, in the beginning. Even with Mr. Tushman and Dr. Jansen, he never backtracked on how he felt about Auggie. He was a kid. Having nightmares is not his fault. But instead of making those nightmares go away, his parents chose to blame Auggie for them. That wasn’t very wise, I say. They were to be their kids’ role models, but I’d say they failed him.

Grandmere was an interesting role. The story about the first Julian was touching. And I liked how she knocked sense into the kid. August and Julian making up was chill. Felt very good. A happy close to an amazing story.

Guau. Durante todo el libro de August, me entraban ganas de odiar a Julian y cuando supe que iban a hacer un libro sólo de él, me entró la curiosidad por conocer su historia, no reticente de saber que voy a revivir todas esas historias que tiene Julian y esta vez desde su punto de vista.
Hasta aquí el Antes. El Después hace que Julian me haya hecho sonreír y que crea en la esperanza de la infancia, recordar que al fin y al cabo son niños. Conmovido por la historia de la Grandmere y del Tourteau. Con la piel de gallina he acabado este libro y parece que la autora tiene esa especialidad. Grande.
