The Julian Chapter by R.J. Palacio
4.0
The Julian Chapter was almost a two star review for me.
It's no surprise that Julian is written as a very spoiled and obnoxious character, but his writing was almost unbearable to read at points. While Wonder is categorized as juvenile fiction, reading The Julian Chapter truly felt like reading a children's book.
Fortunately, Grandmere came along and saved the day in a few pages. While I was glad to see Julian's character growth wrap up nicely towards the end, it was unfortunate that his parent's were left as a gray area.
While I do not feel like this is an essential read, it was nice to get Julian's side of the story.
