DIVERGENT

by Veronica Roth       


This book to me is an "okay" sort of book. Its not that its not nice its just a little too...romantic for my liking. I mean I'm fine with kissing and stuff but talking about how you feel when you touch them, how you fit perfectly together and how you want each other its kind of a little bit too much for a 14 year old like me to enjoy. ( I am just putting out my opinion it doesn't mean it has to be the same as yours ) Divergent was made into a movie last year, 2014 and even though I believe that the book is always better than the movie this time it wasn't. To me the movie was better because they omit some of the more violent scenes like attempted gang rape, a knife plunged into someone's eye and the and her kissing him happens a lot in the book but very little in the movie. So big thumbs up to them. Some people have compared this book to the hunger games and said that this book is less violent but, even though 22 teens die but their deaths are mostly quick a snap of the neck, a arrow in the neck, a stab of a sword. All the deaths were fast okay except Cato's and maybe Rue's death  but other than that quick or instant deaths but in divergent you have to fight each other till one of you knocks out and can't continue. I mean that's kind of like torture and they have to do it every single day which is really painful but there are some good points that I haven't talked about like how Tris and Tobias really do love each other and how brave and kind and selfless Tris is but I leave that for you to figure out if you decide to read it.


There are 5 factions Abnegation, Candor, Amity , Erudite and Dauntless

This book is on Tris's life when she starts in Abnegation with herbrother Caleb ( committed to selflessness) going through a test finding out she's divergent and chooses Dauntless ( courage and bravery ) and her brother chooses Erudite during the choosing ceremony and the hiding of her divergence during initiation process, the process of eliminating unworthy initiates that do not measure up to the faction's standard leaving them factionless which means that they live their lives with no meaning not belonging to any faction but their own group of factionless people and where she meets her instructor, Four a,k.a. Tobias Eaton . The Erudite and Dauntless are plotting to overthrow the leading faction/ the government, Tris's old faction, where her parents live and are a part of, Abnegation.  Being divergent she and Tobias ( yes he's divergent too... well not really but that's later in the series ) are the only ones who can stop Jeanine, the head of Erudite from taking over completely. DO THEY SUCCEED... READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT.

All in all its a good book but its a little too much for me and if they turned it down a little it would be better. Again this only my opinion it doesn't have to feel as if I read your mind. That's all next one is coming out in a couple more hours about 7-8 more hours give or take. OKAY. BYE

Pushing the Limits

by Katie McGarry


This book really touched my heart. I cried (a lot) in this book, I felt the pain the main characters felt and it was just....corny but true

This book is about two teenagers who have difficult lives. Echo, who used to be popular, now has cuts all over her arms. She was everyone's topic to gossip about. Some rumors said that she tried to kill herself but no one really knows what happens, not even Echo. Now for the other main character, Noah. Noah is the kind of boy that swears a LOT, tattoos, smoking. He's your typical gangster. Gangster or not he wants his family back but he can't.

They eventually meet and fall in love with each other. Echo and Noah both crave for something they know they can't have - normal. 

This book is UGH just perrrrrfect. I suggest this book for mature readers only.

There's a sequel to this but I haven't read it yet. I think it's called Breaking the Rules?? Read it!

THE HUNGER GAMES :)

by Suzanne Collins             

 I am not going to lie. I am pretty much obsessed with The Hunger Games. It is and most likely will always be my favourite trilogy or book series. I love the story, I love the characters ( although I slightly dislike Gale ), I love the way Suzanne Collins wrote so it feels as if your actually there ( I know people usually say this, but it really does feel like your actually there ), I love the message she's trying to convey and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the love triangle and I know the love triangle isn't exactly the main reason Suzanne Collins wrote her book but it is a beautiful love story. (This trilogy left me bawling my eyes out during the 3rd book, MOCKINGJAY. Possibly because I am an emotionally unstable person, BECAUSE OF READING. )                  
PEETA

THE HUNGER GAMES - A televised battle to death among kids aged 12 - 18 years old ( tributes ) that have been reaped from their perspective district to be contenders in the annual Hunger Games that's held in a special arena that is created and controlled by the Gamemakers. The showdown continues until only one contender is left and crowned victor.



The story revolves around Katniss Everdeen. A 16 year old girl who has taken over as the head of the family after her father died from a mining accident when she was 11 years old. She had to keep herself, her mother and her 7 year old sister, Prim alive.

 During the reaping of the tributes for the 74th Annual Hunger Games her sister, Primrose Everdeen is reaped as the female tribute and she volunteers as tribute to save her sister then Peeta Mellark ( The Boy With The Bread ) who she has a personal connection with even though she has never talked to him is reaped as the male tribute from her district, District 12. 
KATNISS

Their now sent to games after a week or two of being pampered by the Capitol and Katniss wearing one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever read of. Their sent to the games where Katniss faces deadly enemies, killer berries, a foxface, painful wounds, mixed emotions and even has to put her acting and nursing skills to the test. Oh yeah, and her kissing skills too. (This is not a spoiler because she has to survive because if she didn't how could it be a TRILOGY !!!) Soon after the games, she finds out that the Capitol/ President Snow is now out to get her because of a stunt she pulled with the KILLER BERRIES towards the end of the Games.
