Harken is the first book in a trilogy by Kaleb Nation, it is a sci-fi conspiracy novel that takes place in LA. The novel focuses mainly on one character, Micheal Asher, and shows how he comes to the realization that the world is not how he has always believed it is, that everything is not as it seems. Kaleb does an amazing job showing the mental development of Micheal as he goes through this transformation.The writing style in which Kaleb uses is engrossing, his novel pulls you in and makes you forget about everything happening around you (warning if you are reading while waiting for a meeting you will jump when the other person appears).
There are so many ups and downs throughout this novel that it continuously left me trying to guess what would happen next, every twist and turn within the novel was positioned in the absolute best way possible, nothing was out of place or even remotely iffy. To top it off, Kaleb has so many witty one liners throughout the book that would just put a smile across my face. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars, it is definetly worth your read!

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is a cancer story that is not about cancer, it’s really about the lives of some remarkable individuals who just happen to have cancer. Readers follow the lives of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, along with their mutual friend Isaac, through their ups and downs. We get to follow their little infinity and learn just how powerful the word “Okay” can be. This is one of the most powerful stories I have read, and good news it’s coming out as a movie REALLY soon (Officially June 6th but I get to see it June 5th). You experience the highs and lows that Hazel experiences along with her, John Green writes in a way that makes the words come alive on the page. You get to travel to Amsterdam with her, and fall in-love with Augustus as she does — “It’s a metaphor” — the chemistry between the two main characters is simply amazing, it’s raw, and it’s real! But yet, it’s not a love story that would only appeal to girls, I know of many guys as well who have fallen in love with this book. This is one of my all time top ten books and I will give it 5/5 stars simply because I love it that much. If you haven’t read it GO READ IT, preferably before you see the movie (that John Green himself approved of) and let me know what you think!
Thank you John Green for such an amazing and powerful novel!
*warning make sure you have Kleenex as every time I’ve read this book I became a hot mess of tears*

Dysfunctional: the Rick Langlais Story was one of the most powerful books I have ever read. I thought having met Rick a number of times and knowing a bit about his story before reading it would help it not hit so hard but boy was I wrong. I read this book in one sitting as I could not put it down and have lent it to many people to get Rick’s story out there. This is not a book for the weak at heart, Rick as gone through hell and back and yet still fights for the rights and freedoms of others!
Throughout the book Rick’s story unfolds, you learn about the layers of abuse that Rick endured throughout his life — you learn about why he does what he does to protect those who are most vulnerable in life. You begin to understand why Rick is willing to lay everything on the line to protect the kids of the core neighbourhood in Saskatoon. However, this book is NOT for the faint of heart, what Rick has had to face throughout his life is truly heartbreaking, and sadly is a reality for many individuals in this “safe” and “developed” country we call home. Rick brings light to a number of extremely important issues like abuse, poverty, addiction, and despair which many individuals face on a daily basis though it is not regularly talked about. Rick’s story is far to common, though it is generally pushed under the rug and ignored within society.
I do not feel as though I can rightfully give this book a numeral rating, it is raw, it is true and it is beautifully painful. It is a MUST read!

This book gives fans of "Faking Normal" a chance to learn more about Bodee's character and development. It's a short but great read that tells you how he became "kool-aid kid"
