Craig C, A Mango Shaped Space Final

I just finished A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass. It cultivated in me a new way to look at colors. The way the main character visualized colors was amazing. I couldn’t put the book down. I liked how believable it was. The author did a great job of describing what the characters were like and how they felt. There were sad parts and amusing parts to the story. The death of Mango was the most shocking and depressing. Wendy Mass gave a detail in the book that suggests that the cat Mango has a part of the soul of a relative that the main character is related to. I thought that was a very interesting part to include, but it makes the story more unusual and special. Mango’s colors played a big part in the book and how the story played out.

Overall this is the most unusual book I’ve read, but also It’s the best book I’ve read so far. It was well written and easy to understand. Wendy Mass was able to perfectly describe the colors related to sound and what shapes the colors took on. I was pleasantly surprised by this book.
