I read this book a while ago and a few weeks ago I watched the movie. It is very moving and inspires me to be a better person.

when he was born, his genes went wrong causing him to appear deformed. so yes, he was born differently

these are really good books. i really like how the author has written in the perspective of different people but not in first person. also, i like how the book isn't in one person's perspective but changes between. story line terms, creative and indulging. it is very clear and funny at the same time serious. in conclusion, 10/10.
