I can see the connection between this book and Out of My Mind, but somehow this book just seemed...drab and underwhelming compared to that one. I felt like Out of My Mind was so well-written and impactful, and I feel like the author intended for this book to have that same intensity, but in my opinion, it fell short because I felt nothing. This reminds be of a combination between So B. It, Out of My Mind, and Seedfolks, but not quite as good as any of them (other than Seedfolks) for different reasons. I can see why others liked it, but it's just wasn't for me I guess.
