"BEST BOOK I'VE READ IN YEARS" from Amazon

Another 5 star review from Amazon.

August 17, 2010

By Yiddishkeit is me (Amazon reviewer)

This book took me out of my seat into the story. I can't say enough about this book. It made me so interested that I couldn't stop reading! I read it practically for a day straight and read it all in like a day and a half--which is something that I rarely do. This was absolutely amazing and I wish Friesen would write more books. I'm going out to get "Jerk, California" in half an hour because im still going crazy over how amazing Rush was. Such a perfect book.

A Message from Jonathan

It's an awesome deal to be able to share something as personal as a book with you. I discovered that when I wrote Jerk, California, the award-winning story of a young man struggling with Tourette Syndrome. I feel it again now.


I'm so pleased to announce the release of RUSH, the story of another tortured young man and his quest to connect with the world around him. Through Jake King's life, you'll feel adrenaline differently, see the world differently. I wanted to share his remarkable life first with you.

Through conferences and keynotes, school visits and personal e-mails, I'm discovering how incredibly interesting each individual is. My hope is that somewhere in the pages of this fast-paced, action-filled novel, you will find a piece of yourself. When you do, you'll know you have touched me and become a part of this work. For that I thank you.

Enjoy!
