Wonder - A Review.

Post by mindCupcake »

This is the most beautifully written book, or so I thought right after "the perks of being wallflower". It has all the elements that make you think, assimilate and ponder on all the things that we take for granted. In the eyes of a small boy, in the eyes of his friends and how, though it sounds hard to get, everything has its own explanation if we just stop and think whilst putting ourselves in someone else's frame of reference. I could not stop until the last page and a story from a boy who used helmet for years t cover himself to a boy who stood in front of hundreds and received a medal for being strong was magnificent. Everything and everyone is beautiful, provided, they have an explanation for their deeds. A valid one and a plausible one.


The universe would abandon us completely and the universe does not. It takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we cannot see. Like with parents who adore you blindly, and a big sister who feels guilty for being human over you, and a little gravelly-voiced kid whose friends have left him over you and even a pink haired girl who carries your picture in her wallet. May be it is a lottery, but the universe makes it all even out in the end, The universe takes care of all its birds.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.
