"I always thought that these things happened to other people until it happened to me. The experience really changed my life, but I found out who my friends were and I got to know me."
This book was so much better than I had thought it was going to be. It had some really strong messages within and it was really shocking. It wasn't anything like I was expecting.
One major message this book focuses on is not to judge someone on their appearance and I feel like the author did a brilliant job on covering that. He wrote about the Martin's feelings and experiences so well and it felt so realistic and I got quickly sucked into the book, I couldn't put it down.
Martin's parents and Mr. Green were amazing characters, as were the doctors, and I really enjoyed reading the chapters he was in hospital despite it pretty much being the same, it was comforting to know Martin was getting looked after. It truly broke my heart when his friends began to abandon him, but it was done so well and so realistically that you feel so much emotion and experience with Martin as he does. The author does a fantastic job of bringing Martin alive in this book. I'm just grateful Martin's got new friends who care about him and don't mind that he's got scars. They accept him.
This was such a good book man.
