On the Shelf


I just finished reading the book Divergent which is a fantastic novel about a believable dystopian future. The 500ish page book ended up being pretty simple in its writing style but frequently brought in descriptions of subtle body language and personal reactions to the world around Tris, adding a whole new layer of believability. This novel has no shortage of plot twists and startling situations that will leave the reader on the edge of their seat with one eyebrow raised. The unique environments that the characters are placed in and the extreme circumstances that these realistic characters face bring certain credibility to the story; it made the novel easy to connect with and easy to believe.  The storyline also has numerous difficult and defining choices that help to build a character representation of who each of the individuals within the story really are. From betrayal, to revenge, romance, to clutch-player moments, this story has it all.
On the List

The next book I will be reading is in anticipation of the movie release of The Hobbit, the prelude to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I cannot wait to get into The Hobbit (a.k.a There and Back Again for the Lord of the Rings fans) and of course I cannot wait for the movie to come out December 14th.
