I was fortunate enough to see an early screening of this film thanks to lions gate world kindness day.

I had read the book of this when it was first published and couldn't wait to see the film however I was worried that the two media wouldn't be compatible. The book the image of auggie author is in ypur own head by his own physical description where as film you had that image implanted there for you.


The film itself is an ultimate feel good the writer directors and actors have obviously all though about the message of the book and conveyed it the best way they could. If you are looking for a feel good movie that makes you want to be kinder then this is most defibelty the film for you .

Book Favorite

"This book has the virtue of being the most perfect novel ever written. It manages to blend the miniature world of an uninteresting town with a profound reckoning with the human heart in all its vagaries. Here we find courage, pettiness, self-deception, love, profundity, triviality, sadness, joy, munificence, greed, theatricality, restraint, wit, pomposity, despair, hope. It’s seductively readable, free of pretension, and written with a rare clear-eyed kindness."

Beautiful thought provoking book
This is not my usual genre of book, but I was gifted it as a friend believed I would find connections to the character who I could empathise with. This book demonstrates what kindness can do in a world where we are quick to dismiss others quirks and behaviours that are not in line with ours. Beautifully written, this book left me gagging to know what happened next.

ANASTASIA ...IN SPAAAACE!
I really liked this one! The world-building was fascinating. The characters are great. I adored Capt. Siege.

The only problem is a Robb problem and this is where we get into nice vs. kindness. Robb is...okay. He's not an actively offensive character but he just reacts to things, which makes perfect sense for his character BUT with other students check dynamic characters this really stood out to me.
