First of all, an albino kid in Zimbabwe. This transcends boundaries. I love the refreshing new perspective. A point of view that is usually dismissed. The cover initially intrigued me, then the description allowed me to invest my time to read the book. It's emotive and describes of an experience only 1 in 20,000 people worldwide can understand. It allows representation of an unrepresentated minority. The character allows for me to empathise, the uniqueness and differences with people you spiritually connect with despite the physical differences.
As humans any change, any anomaly is something we naturally avoid. The uncommon is something we don't want to know, don't want to experience, trust, love. But as friedrich nietzshe said "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.", this story tells of a teenager who's fighting not only himself but the world he was told to exist in.
