- ok the second one, I don't really have an idea what it means. But the first one makes sense when you read this latest book by Veronica Roth. My cousin lend me this book when I ranted in twitter that I need a book t read just so to keep me sane. (Low times, I need a book to think or be diverted). My first reaction to this is its like Hunger games. I tried reading Hunger games, I know a lot find it really nice, in fact Hunger Games is already a movie so I suppose it's a bestseller right? but I didn't finish it because well I didn't like it. (sorry fans). For starters I am not a fan of reality tv or Lost kind of plot, which I found in Hunger games. Ok why am I talking about Hunger Games.

Anyway, at the first few chapters and I found it kind of the same plot, I wanted to put it down and shut it, but I gave it a chance. It was a funny book sarcastic humor, which I like. I like a book that has a heroine, a girl who is courageous and smart. Witty and funny. Just like a modern girl should be.

I have always like a mysterious boy, (don't we all) which is the love interest, and this particular boy in the book, I keep picturing him looking like Alex Pettyfer, because his name is Four, which I prefer than Tobias his real name. Just like Flynn rather than Eugene in Tangled.

Another thing I like in the book is that the ending is not much of a hanger so waiting for the sequel is not as painful as the others but still you would want to wait for the 2nd installment and keeps you craving for more.

What I can say is, this is not the best book I have read for the year but I still recommend it for people who likes reading YA novels and looking for something different, you know, something that does not include Vampires.

PS

I like the scan thing they have on the back cover, you know the bar codes. : )
