I rarely give out five-star reviews, and my criteria for a five-star review is fairly straightforward: I give five stars to books that I don't want to end.I read lots of books every year that I enjoy, but because my TBR list is so long, I very rarely dread a book ending -- I know there will always b...
The narrative of this book took a while to get used to, and I never fully embraced it. There were certain moments where it even frustrated me and I had to put the book down for a while. The story itself is emotional and very intense as it was based on real events. It is hard to come to grips with th...
This book blew me away. It's about a kidnapped woman living and her son growing up in captivity and trying to acclimate into the real world. I was not prepared for all that happens. Everything is told from the little boy's point of view, and it seems so real. I had many wow, nervous, heart, etc ...

In this case, the movie has been honoured with numerous nominations and awards (Oscar and others), but having read it, I'm no...

This is one of the most enthralling books I've read in recent times. Told in the voice of five-year-old Jack, the novel is...

I've been thinking about survival and how trauma effects us a lot lately and then I got the email that this book was finally available from overdrive. I put it on hold so long ago that I'd forgotten I put it on hold. I was nervous about reading a story from a 5 year old's perspective but I was ple...
