zelshamada 's review for:
Wildman
by J.C. Geiger
Ok, here's the thing: I struggled a little with the first part of this book. And because it's so short, I was certain I wasn't going to like it but I thought I might as well finish it because, again, it's so short.
So today I picked it up, with the full intention to just get over with it and something magical happened. In the turn of a page, I started to like Lance as a character and then there is this twist in the story that I didn't see coming (like, at all) but it got me. Characters that were ok-ish at the beginning of the book were suddenly seen under another kind of light and –at the end– I wasn't only rooting for Lance, I was feeling and thinking everything he was feeling and thinking as well. And everything made sense in a very relatable way.
The book's message is so beautifully written also: the stories that we tell ourselves matter, who we think we are matters just as much as our decisions in life. And the last chapter made me cry a little, I must be honest.
So, all in all, I enjoyed this book a lot. If you have problems with the beginning I encouraged you to carry on because maybe inside its pages you'll find a message written just for you.
