Divergent

Don't let the overzealous CGI fire swirl of a cover deter you.  This book is pretty gripping!  At a girlfriends dinner a few weeks ago, I realized all of my closest friends had read this book, and peer pressure got the best of me...I downloaded it via kindle that evening to catch up in order to fully participate in the "Divergent dialogue" that I know will ensue at our next gathering.  Yes, we are that cool!

So…Divergent.  It kind of has a futuristic post-apocolyptic Hunger Games world combined with Hogwart's sorting hat and a splash of The Giver for a plot.  Does that help in the slightest?  It's the first in a trilogy, and it's pretty good so far.  And of course, there's already a movie debuting March 21st, I swear Hollywood moves at lightening speed these days, remember when it took years, decades even for a book to become a movie?!

Have you been sucked in yet?

Yes! I read all three books in a week last Fall. Somewhat similar to Hunger Games, I loved the first book, liked the second, and was disappointed by the third. But it was an entertaining ride to be sure! Have fun with them!

I got sucked in! I read all three. I agree with Mary- I loved the first, second was ok, and the third wasn't my favorite. But totally worth reading!

I've been on the fence for awhile as to whether or not jump on this bandwagon, maybe I'll give it a go! I need a new book.
