June Book #5

Book: Divergent by Veronica Roth
Age-range: 16 and up

This is a post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel about a future America where people are divided into different factions. Sounds like Hunger Games, you say? Well, not exactly.

I read this 400-plus page book in one day. It was that good. Was it perfect? No. Like Hunger Games, it was unnecessarily violent at parts. I was annoyed when the female protagonist was affronted when someone called her weak on one page and then the next page is bemoaning how weak she is. Other than a few little irksomes like that it was wonderful.

It's the first book in a trilogy, the second of which came out last month. I don't know when the third one will be out, but I'm looking forward to reading both of them soon.

Happy reading!
