Hey world! Woohoo! Breaking records all over the place! I feel bad today because yesterday I forgot to wish you a happy Bastille day, or une jouyeuse fête nationale as the French would say. Yeah, I speak French, and I take every opportunity to brag about that, too. Right now I'm wishing I weren't out of tea. I have one lonely tea bag left...Maybe I will drink it today. But not right now, it's time to talk about the book now.
So, just, like, two days ago I finished this book called Hacker by Ted Dekker of the Outlaw Chronicles. It's not the first in the series, but one of the awesome things about Ted Dekker is that you rarely have to read his series books in order. I'm a little confused about this series though, because I think some of them area also four novellas you can get separately as ebooks or something. Agh, I keep hearing this sound and I have no idea what it is. My blog posts are really unorganized. Amazon link! No audible here, which is a shame because the samples are so fun.
Summaryish: Nyah Parks is a seventeen year old genius who hacks big corporations for the money to pay her mom's medical bills. She is planning her biggest hack of all when she stumbles across information not meant for her eyes. To escape the corporation's security specialist (ahem, assassin, cough), the only choice available to her and her mom is to take the ultimate leap of faith and hack her own brain for the answers to questions she didn't even know she needed to ask.
Review: Whoa. Snap. If this book were just a smidgen less awesome, it would be a Wow. Just Wow. No typo there, I said less. As it is, this book is so amazing it's not even in the same category of a Wow. Just Wow. Because it's not just a good story, it's a meaningful one. It's packed with the action and suspense every good book (at least in my genres) need, but it also has a beautiful truth about it that makes it even better. This is one of those books that is impossible to keep to yourself. I read it, and instead of putting it on my "finished" book pile, I passed it right off to someone else. Don't hesitate to pick this book up, it might just change the way you see the world.
Words to the Characters:
Austin: You're just like me except smarter! We should totally become friends! Which would kind of void the way we're alike. Carry on.
Nyah: I speak JavaScript too! Except I'm having troubles getting these rectangles to move the way I want them. I tried a bunch of different if statements in my var draw, but it didn't work. Maybe a while loop or something...
Okay, I still have one book left, so see you tomorrow for what might be the end of the marathon!
