This made me feel some things. It's arguably just a good book, but what is literature if not a place for us to explore our feelings? The way I feel about this book will not possibly also be the way you feel about this book, but that's also kind of the point. My past experiences shape my present ones. I would not be able to tell anyone if they would like this or dislike it. It tackled tough issues, and Zappia both chose avenues I would and would not choose. Quite honestly, the thing this book did the greatest job at, was inspire me to create. Anything. Something people can see, or not. Doesn't matter, as long as its what I want to do.
