This book will make you laugh, cry and look at people in a totally different way. Told from lots of perspectives, you really get a feel for the story and other peoples feelings. I read it in a day. AMAZING 😛

I thought this book was very moving. It took me into another world. A world where people are scared of your face. A world where people are so cruel that they run away. I absolutely Loved it.
