Summer Reading List #1

During the school year I don't often get a chance to read for fun. Which is a shame because I love reading. SO since it is summer I tend to read a lot and I thought it would be fun to document all the books I read this summer and share my opinions and thoughts on each ones.


So the first book I read this summer was Divergent by Veronica Roth.

I have wanted to read this book for a really long time. In fact I believe my cousin has been pestering me for over a year to read it. And now I know why. I really do love reading dystopian books and this is fantastic. Another driving factor that got me to read this book in that it is going to be a movie that comes out in 2014 and I always like to read the book before seeing the movie. I think that I may like this book better than I like the Hunger Games which kind of has the same post-modern vibe to it. I think maybe because I could see myself living in the world more than that of the Hunger Games books. The really basic down the bone description I would give this book is that everyone alive is separated into fractions based on which quality is most important to them. The are five overall factions and the story revolves around this one girl who is at the age she has to choose which faction she wants to be in and follows her life after she picks. That is all I am going to say because 1) I don't want to accidentally spoil anything that happens because your going to want to read this book and 2) The story gets way more complicated than that and its becomes to hard for me describe the rest of what happens in one blog post.  Basically what I am telling you is to go read this book ASAP! It is so good and it might even be moved into my top three book series ever depending on what I think after I read the next book. Which I can't wait to read and have been looking everywhere to find but none of my local books store seem to have the second book, the only have the first one. #firstworldproblems  #INeedToKnowWhatHappensNext
