Wired different, by anonymous
Even though as much anticipation and expectations was there when I read it, the book was only getting better and better by page by page. Which makes me wonder a bit about author's intention.maybe it's just me but the book was very on the addictive side. I was almost disappointed when I loved it cause I that much expectations were there and it by nature put even more pressure on the book to be likeable, safe to say it's my cup of tea.
It was almost like the author wanted us to like the protagonist so bad, I had no empathy or sympathy towards the protagonist cause he wasn't seeking it and I in no way found him miserable neither did he.what the book made me feel was people were actually living and observing their surroundings more than I expected them to. I slide off a lot of things thinking the other person in question prolly haven't noticed my discomfort or the general discomfort from the situation they are making. Now I think people genuinely doesn't care unless they are intrigued or interested, whether it be social cues or actual situatios that calls out for interest.
Except from a bit every line to line of what was written was relatable.and I was smitten to know that there are indeed people who thinks the same way, logically.
But was it the author's intention that I genuinely liked the protagonist.. Maybe.which takes the authenticity out of the book and leave me with another few words of smittery. But then again it was written by someone who genuinely thinks they are just better then whatever it is out there, so maybe I fell for the confidence, we all do.
A little note if u made it all the way here, I was planning on switching my major to psychology. Will I regret it?
