This book is super good!!! My favourite parts were the parts where they were talking about Henry‘s brother, because it‘s so shocking and sad, and you feel bad for his brother but you also don‘t feel bad at the same time. I loved every part of this book, except for the ending, the ending felt so sudden and dry, I felt like it needed a stronger ending.

The Reluctant Journal of Henry K. Larsen was not really my type. I usually lean towards action-packed mysteries, and although this did not have that element it was still a good read! I recommend this book to anyone who loves young adult, realistic fiction books.

I‘m really enjoying this book. At the start all they would talk about was IT. I didn‘t know what it meant at first. but once I did, I got hooked.

I have finished reading this book. It is about bullying and a school shooting. The main character, Henry, was forced to write in a journal by his psychiatrist, Cecil.

I wanted stop reading because it wasn‘t really for me, the plot was slow and I want a book that has more action like I am number four.

What happens to the family members left behind after a school shooter takes action? What an incredible perspective and a powerful story of how the brother of a school shooter tries to move on.

This is one of those laughing and bawling on the same page books. I love all of Nielsen‘s books, but this one made me a life time fan. I‘m in awe of her ability to balance humour and heartbreak.

An easy to read young adult book exploring themes of bullying, family and trauma. Written in the form of a diary, the story follows Henry Larsen as he settles into a new school and deals with life following a traumatic event that has had a serious impact on both his life and his family. I would've liked the story to have explored the rebirth of his relationship with his family more at the end but all in all an engaging read!
