Divergent

I enjoyed this year’s summer reading more than any other summer reading I have had. The books were more enjoyable than years past, but there was one book that topped them all. That book is Divergent. When I first bought the book to read, it looked big and boring. It looked like it would take the whole summer to read, and I really didn't want to read it. My sister told me, "Claudia you have got to read it. I promise you that you'll enjoy it." Guess what? My sister was right. 

I started to read Divergent on my flight to South Carolina during the summer. When we landed, I was almost half way through. The next day when we drove to Myrtle Beach I finished the book twenty minutes before we arrived. I usually take a while to read a book, but this books plot, setting, and characters made me want to continue on reading. The way Veronica Roth would end each chapter by just stopping in the middle of an important event, made we read the extra chapter to find out what will happen. I loved the way Roth created the dystopian society of the many different factions. With each faction having its own unique traits made me wonder what faction would I fit in to and what would my friends fit into. 

All in all, the book was great. It was so great, that I continued on reading and went to the next book in the series, Insurgent. I recently finished that book as well, and impatiently waiting for the third book, Allegiant, to come out later this fall. I bet it will be as good as the rest!
