Great point, I'm glad the author included those feelings. I get worried leaving my family when I'm across the state, so I would lose my mind if I was planets away!
Most relatable part of the book

Yeah, that made me feel really bad for Kalin. I think it's unrealistic he manages to break into the facility of a biotech mega-corporation, but it was realistic that he tried. Just for the acceptance of people like that sadly.

Realistic that he tried? Are you serious? If someone dared you to gate-crash Area 51, would you do it?anaplasticCerebrum wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 18:34Yeah, that made me feel really bad for Kalin.

Kalin was the most relatable character of the tale. His quest for perfection made the book even more realistic.

I think Kalin was in denial of his appearance as compared to exquisite characters like Philip. And Yes, it is sad what people like the former undergo in quest of acceptance.anaplasticCerebrum wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 18:34Yeah, that made me feel really bad for Kalin.

In my opinion, at no point in life will things be at a state of equilibrium. We can't all be queens and Kings in an empire. It is dejecting what Kalin had to go through in pursuit for embrace.SwissKeener wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 21:59 The most relatable part to me is that Kalin was willing to do anything in order to fit in with the fraternity boys at college. He desperately wanted friends, and he wanted to have that sense of acceptance and belonging. We see this so much in today’s society. People are willing to go to any length to fit in with who they think are the “right” crowd and the “popular” crowd.

Even though it helped build the character development in the book, it is sad that people like Kalin are common in today's society.

Even though Kalin felt dejected, he knew there was still a place for him in his mother's heart. The desire to be reunited with his loved ones brought out family as a strong theme in the book.

I totally concur. Spite and anger can very annihilating as proved in the book.
