mikavon 's review for:
The Wonder
by Emma Donoghue
Meh. Definitely paints religious people in a bad light, which felt a bit heavy handed. And the ending was a bit too neat and tidy for me.
Also. Why was Lib so averse to force feeding the girl? "I'll do anything to save her" my ass.
The random journalist who gives up his life and agrees to kidnap and raise a little girl out of the kindness of his heart seemed... a bit too fortuitous. Like, what are the odds that a super nice guy would randomly show up. It would have been a more satisfying story if Lib had managed to save the girl on her own, without the inexplicable help from some random dude.
Anyway. A forgettable mystery about the stupidity of religious people.
