Divergent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it of course! Ordered the next 2 in the series. I don't know why I've waited so long to read this! I did the same with The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset but the good thing is that I don't have to wait for the next book to be released!

Wow! I read this one pretty quick! This was our April book club read at work and I gotta say I did enjoy it but not what everyone put it out there to be. I really wanted to give it 3.5 stars but for Goodreads purposes I gave it 4 because you just can't give half stars yet.

This book is very touching and it makes you feel that just because you are old doesn't mean your life just stops. You can still go on and be loved and have love and even make love. These people in this book are 65+ and yest they are still out there cheating on their spouses! I am not saying that this is good I am just saying that you really never hear of such things happening when you are 72! My point is, is that you think of getting old as sitting on your rocking chair knitting sweater and watching reruns of old shows and at some points this may be but the elderly are still rocking it and just because they can't do certain things I am sure that they would given the opportunity.

There are a lot of sad things too, like having your friends and loved ones getting sick and dying. It sucks big time but I this book just goes to show you that you have to take things for granted and just live your live to the fullest because you are not always are going to be able to.

Okay, so this is a YA and people have been pestering me to read it so I did and I gotta say it is very different from my last read and my current one but it was cute. I did enjoy it but I don't think I was ready for it after reading The Lie. But who is reading for much after reading that? LOL

Well, I did like the teacher Ms. Wilcox. I literally got chills when I found out her true identity and also loved Weaver. I don't blame him for anything that he has ever done but i truly would love to know what happened to him after. It just kinda let it hanging in the air. The only real complaint I have about the book was that it ended very suddenly. I kind of felt like the writer has so many pages left to write and just jotted down the ending very quickly. Usually you have some sort of inclination of whats going on but the ending just jumped right in with no leading... You would probably know what I mean if you read it or will read it for that matter. It was a good read and a quick one as well. really not what I prefer but hey, I gave it a shot and I liked it!

Anyways, the book I am reading now it Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.I am flying through it already! This is a book that I am reading for my work book club.
