Ugly was one of those books for which I had LOW expectations. SUPER LOW. I was sure it was a rip off, written because of the success of Wonder.
But no way. First of all, this is a memoir. And Robert Hoge has quite the story to tell and a very compelling way of telling it. He has to be one of the most forgiving and understanding human beings in the world. I was so upset listening to his mother's response to the physical deformities with which Robert was born. But then I read this and it helped. This is just a really well-written book. Great book.
What's Going On Here?
There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.
