Between a Rock and a Hard Place

This week I read the non-fiction book Between a Rock and a Hard Place written by Aron Ralston. This book is an autobiography about Aron Raltson and his experience in Blue John Canyon, Utah. He finds himself with his arm trapped between the canyon walls and a fallen boulder. He is forced to amputate his arm using only a dull multi tool in order to save his life. Although it seems like I just gave away the entire plot I did not and there is a lot that happens in the book. This book was really well written and you really got to know the main character. There was a lot of great details in this book. Overall I definitely recommend this book to anyone, no matter the type of books they normally like to read because it is a really influential book.

City of Bones

This week I read the fiction book City of Bones written by Cassandra Clare. This book is about a girl named Clary who after going to a club and witnesses a murder finds out about the world of shadow hunters and how she is connected to it all. This book is really good it is definitely not for everyone because of the type of book it is. It is obviously very fiction but for those of you who do like these types of books it has a really well developed plot and throughout the book you really get to know the characters. This is also in a series of five. Overall I would definitely recommend this book.

Sold

This week I read a really intense book called Sold written by Patricia McCormick. This book is about a thirteen year old girl living in a poor family in Nepal. After monsoons wash away and destroy her families farm she must go and find work to support her family. Her stepfather takes her to become a prostitute. This book is really intense and the majority of the book has really mature content. It it really well written but it shouldn't be read by anyone not ready for this type of content.

Out of the Easy

I read Out of the Easy written by Ruta Sepetys. This book is fiction and takes place in the 1950s. Josie and her mother move to New Orleans and her mother becomes a prostitute. Josie goes to work at a book store where she deals with being a prostitutes daughter Suddenly there is a murder and Josie is caught in the middle of it, torn on the decisions that she is making. This book has a lot of warnings because of some of the things mentioned in the book. I thought that this book had a really interesting plot and it made me want to keep reading it all the way through the book. Overall I would definitely recommend this book, it is really well written.
