Chapters 5-6

In chapter 5, David is pressured into telling Sophie's secret. And to be honest, I didn't think he would tell it so soon. I figured that her sixth toe couldn't have been kept a secret throughout the entire book, but I thought it would be told till a little later. When David gets beaten by his father, I feel it continues to help us get a better understanding of David's lifestyle; seeing how strict his father is. When Sophie and her family feel that they are forced to move away, I think it's really cute and sweet that David insists to go with them. Obviously he can't so he stays the night in a vacant house. I liked how in chapters 5 and 6 the tables are turning and things are starting to get a bit more complicated. Sophie's secret is out and David is starting to suffer the consequences. I'm excited to see what comes next!

Chapters 3-4

At the beginning of chapter 3, David received a splinter. Going into the kitchen to seek help, he soon realized that everybody was busy so, he tried to help himself. When his mother saw the struggle David was in to wrap his own hand, she offered assistance. He then casually stated that he would be able to do it himself if he had three hands. This did not sit well with his father, and he became enraged that David would say such a thing. He was baffled at the thought of wanting to be different. They fought over saying it would be easier, and wanting to be different. It's at this part of the book that we start to get a better understanding of what the average life is like. Trying to be normal, wanting to be normal. However in chapter 4, David shows us that he has telepathic capabilities. Overall, I really liked these chapters. I thought they were different and interesting. They gave us a better look on their world. Also after chapter four, the book cover starts to explain itself better.

Chapters 1-2

The beginigng of the book really interested me. I liked the setting; it's kind of like a normal place, but different at the same time. I'm kind of a fan of fictional alien-like characters, but sometimes I'm not. I fell the author portrayed Sophie as a different person. However, if her toes are covered up, you would not be able to tell any different. My guess for the theme of the book, juding from the first two chapters, is not to judge people based just on what you see. Overall, I think the beginning of the book has a good grab and the author did a good job of catching the readers attention.
