As someone who has a stutter, this is the most honest depiction of stuttering I've read.

This was really great? I never really questioned how people with stutter feel, because I never really knew anyone who stuttered and when I heard people stutter in movies and stuff I just thought that it was normal, kind of how you would think of an accent. I am aware that people get bullied for stuttering, but I thought that it was kind of like how I got bullied for not being fluent in a language, that everyone else mastered. I do think that everyone should read this book to understand more about stuttering, even though it is "just" about a personal experience of one person and not like an essay.
