There was one line in the book that I liked, however. It's from another burn victim, speaking to our hero:
"And just when you start thinking that you've accepted who you are, that changes too. Because who you are is not permanent."
I like that. Not in a burn patient way, but for anyone. I'm not sure if I think it's true, but it's an interesting, thought-provoking line. The only one in the book.
