A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass
3.0
I really expected more out of this book, especially since it was about such a cool condition. I had heard about Synthesia, the melding of the senses by reading [b:The Name of This Book Is Secret|1099301|The Name of This Book Is Secret (Secret, #1)|Pseudonymous Bosch|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1344271058s/1099301.jpg|1086172].
But I was let down, I didn't get anything really out of reading this. No problems was solved, because there didn't seem to be an apparent problem.
All I know is that Synthesia sounds cool and I got to experience some really cool situations out of it, and learned a bit about the condition too.
But one thing I really wish I could've changed about this book was the author's writing. It was too bland since this little girl could see colors pop up from words and numbers. It needed something to make it sound more interesting, more than just describing the colors.
Either way, I think it lacked that extra spark it needed, but it really helped open my eyes on Synthesia.
