The story is based on author’s life experience of being diagnosed and treated for a very rare form of eye cancer. However, his experiences are presented from the perspective of a teenager boy who has to cope with his new diagnosis on top of all the other usual teenage problems, dilemma and struggles.
A very serious topic of disease is perfectly captured with hilarious yet motivating comments, presenting a typical teenage life full of mixed emotions, from bullying to empathy and understanding.
In my opinion the book captured the emotions and seriousness of the illness in a perfect way. It shows the full range of various behaviours and feelings which stormed a young boy who has to live his teenage life as normal as possible. I found this book very therapeutic, emotional and touching. It can be a good example for everyone to learn empathy and understanding.
