nialiversuch's review
I found the book too long, overly wordy and slow. I also didn't like the representation of people with disabilities/facial differences.

This is a treatise on disability, how we treat others, and how we treat ourselves. Does the inner self match the outer self (again, back to disability)? As a disabled person, I completely embraced it. It made me cry more than once.
It’s also a treatise on how we change everyone we meet, for better for worse. The choice of how is ours.
