First of all I would like to say that I'm excited for the movie Divergent to be coming out in theaters this month. My 16 year old daughter was reading this book for school and she sat down one day and tried to explain to me what this book was about. Now mind you, she hates to read and I thought that if she could not put this book down, then it definitely is worth reading. Needless to say, I had no clue what she was explaining. People choosing factions....what the heck? It was like someone explaining Star Wars to me.
My youngest, who is 11 decided to buy Divergent from school. Wanting to be like her big sister, she tried to read it but it just didn't interest her enough to keep her involved. So I decided to read it. At first I thought that I would not like this type of book, considering it sounding so Sci-FY but realized I was hooked. Not only did I read Divergent, I just had to read Insurgent immediately. Talk about suspense of what is to happen next. I still have a hard time wrapping an image around my head of how these books look but still has my interest. I am currently working on the last book, but unfortunately I had a time span from the 2nd book to the 3rd and my reading interest is low.
As for Veronica Roth's writing, I would say is outstanding. There is so much detail and emotion in her books that I can't even comprehend how I would start to write a book like this. The faction life is so out of the ordinary and what they endure is such a suspense and never seems to end for these poor people. No matter what path you choose, I don't believe it makes a difference because in the end they are bonding together for a common cause.
I would recommend this book not only to the teens but adults also and I am excited to see how the 3rd book ends. I will definitely will do a review on the movie this month once I see it.
Happy Reading!
