Hi! I’m Shannon and I just finished reading, Wonder written by R.J. Palacio.
I think this book
is a “MUST READ” for all human beings.
It helps us remember how to love everyone! It is one of those books that grabs you on
the first page and never lets go! I
can’t wait to read this book to my children in hopes of them learning how we
treat others with kindness- ALWAYS!
It’s rather hard
for me to choose a “favorite part” of this book. The book is so inviting and such a fast read
that choosing one part is impossible.
It’s charming, endearing and uplifting.
It’s also very sad and relevant.
It has a great message, “Always try to be a little kinder than
necessary” and that alone makes this book a winner in my eyes!
I really enjoyed
all of the characters because the author writes them to have a perfect balance
of humor and emotion. They are sympathetic
yet flawed. They are kind but mean. They have the capability of being incredibly
brave yet completely afraid. I was
easily brought back to my elementary/middle school years and related to each of
the characters with this intense emotion.
So relevant in today’s day in age with the issues of bullying and
popularity!
I think this book
was written to remind us all to err on the side of kindness. It’s a great coming of age story and
something that each of us can relate to at one point in our life or
another. It’s hard to know the author’s
true intentions, but as a mom, my intentions are to read it to my children to
help them understand how important the golden rule truly is!
I would recommend this
book to EVERYONE because written with humor, truth, and relevance. It’s a book that you will not want to put
down and you will be completely bummed when it ends. The message is strong and a great reminder to
all of us trying to lead a better life!
*Shannon is a friend, a reader, and a former co-worker.
*It is so fun to recommend books to her because she is always willing to read them.
*I will get texts from her while she is on vacation stating she is in tears over a novel I passed on to her.
*There is nothing more I enjoy than sharing a wonderful book with a wonderful friend.
*Thanks Shannon for being my guest on Friday Friday #24…
