Book Review: Divergent

I know the Divergent series are starting to make their way to the big screen and many people want to read the books, but aren't sure if they are any good. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I read the series a couple of years ago and couldn't put the book down. My head was constantly behind the book with my bedroom door shut as I took an adventure through Tris' life as a divergent. Divergent  series is a young adult novel by Veronica Roth. This novel takes place in a dystopian world where there is 5 factions in which 16 year olds are placed after taking a test that determines where they will fit the best. One has to dedicate the rest of their lives in their given faction.The 5 factions are Candor(the honest), Dauntless(the brave), Amity (the peaceful), Abnegation(the selfless), and the Erudite(the intelligent). However, Tris isn't like the rest, she's divergent. Divergent people are in serious danger and are often immediately put to death. Tris must keep the secret and  be aware of who  her true friends are as she chooses Dauntless as her faction and tries to live a normal life. If you are going through a  Hunger Games withdrawal(yes, I did), then you will most likely enjoy Divergent. You will fall in love with the well created characters who are real and you can feel what they are feeling. Divergent is action packed and will never cease to keep you occupied and your heart racing. You can buy this book on Kindle for $4.99 or but it on amazon.com for as low as $5.49. Here is the amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Divergent-Veronica-Roth/dp/0062024035

Book Review: Ender's Game

Recently, I have read Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.I recommend that you read this book before you see the movie, if you  haven’t seen the movie yet. If you have seen the movie, I still believe that it is worth reading. This science fiction book will encapture the reader within the first ten pages. Take a journey into six year old Ender Wiggin’s life as he journeys from earth to outer space. It is set in the future during a time when children are sent to space in order to train to become military leaders so they can prevent the dreaded “buggers” from attacking earth once again. Ender is an unusually brilliant child who lives with his parents, his violent brother Peter, and his beloved sister Valentine. Ender was drafted to attend Battle School and had to leave his family for the first time. He fears that he will become like his brother, so he tries his best to maintain a balance between compassion and violence. Despite being a loner amongst the other students, he develops into a strong leader. Could he be the long awaited general to fight the buggers? Ender’s Game is a winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards. I would rate this book as a 4.5 out of 5. If you enjoy sci-fi or action packed stories, I guarantee that this book is the perfect fit for you. The reader can easily connect with Ender’s character and sympathize with him through his hard times and feel happy for him during his good times. You can buy it on Kindle for $3.99 or for as low as $4.82 on amazon.com. Click on the link to buy this book now! http://www.amazon.com/Enders-Game-The-Ender-Quintet/dp/0812550706
