This weeks book review is on Divergent by Veronica Roth.Keith read this book first because he saw the trailer for the movie. I had no intention of reading it until one day, he was taking a long time to go somewhere and the book HAPPENED to be sitting on the counter next to me. I started reading on a Thursday night, and finished it Sunday evening.
I love books like this. The ones that are impossible to put down. I read in every spare moment, in the bathtub, while I was cooking dinner, at bed time, waiting at the eye doctor with my mom. I just read and read.
LOVED every second of it. The first chapter had me so involved that I couldn't stop reading.
Then it gets REALLY good, there is a little love, a little fighting, and a lot of really great story lines.
When I saw this book, I was like "Oh great, another Hunger Games knock-off, but BOY was I wrong. This was nothing like the Hunger Games and dare I say, it was even better.
Synopsis:
In this post-apocolyptic world, society is divided into five factions.
- Abnegation (the selfless)
- Erudite (the knowledge seekers)
- Dauntless (the brave)
- Amity (the peacemakers/peacekeepers)
- Candor (the honest)
She takes the test, and chooses a faction. Then she makes some friends, and has to go through initiation. She finds a boy named Four, and he is awesome ((I told Keith that I have a fiction crush on him) and I actually had a dream about him last night!) He and she get through a bunch of stuff, and then crap gets real.
I can't tell you anymore because I don't want to spoil it. So go read this book because I give it a 5/5 stars!
It is so well written, and the way Veronica Roth describes and writes about things, it makes it seem like I am there, and I can actually see and feel everything that happens.
The movie came out on March 21, 2014. I plan to write a review on the movie as soon as I see it.
I'll let you know, until then... Watch the trailer.
