Hate it or love it, this book made me shed a tear.
At first, I found Gon obnoxious and unlikeable. He was impulsive, rough around the edges, and hard to sympathize with. But as I kept reading, it really sank in that he was just a child longing for love and understanding. Both nature and nurture shaped him, and the lack of both made him who he was.
Almond slowly seeps into you. It makes you think about what it means to feel, or to struggle to feel, and how everyone carries their own kind of pain. By the end, I didn’t just understand the characters. I understood myself a little more.
This book makes you feel human.
