Summary according to Goodreads:

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

MY THOUGHTS: 

The main character is Tris (Beatrice) Prior. I found her to be a very strong-willed character. She isn't afraid to fight for what she wants. I found that some things she did kinda annoyed me. (The split second decisions)... I really do like her as a character, and would hang out with her if she were real.

Another character I loved so much is Four. I found him to be a character that I would love to hangout around. He's strong, tough, manly, and fights for what he wants. I love how rebellious he is, and how many tattoo's he has. He is an all around amazing character, and am excited about how Allegiant 

continues, so that I can learn more about him. 

I thought the plot was amazing. Veronica Roth never leaves you bored. This book is the Ultimate Page turner. I honestly love how she makes the sad moments and the fast paced moments go so well together. 

Two things that I didn't like so much about this book are: Tris' split second decisions, and her brother, Caleb. I just found that most, (If not all of her split second decisions led her to trouble.) And in a lot of ways, I found Caleb to be annoying. 

All in all, I thought this book was AMAZING!! You should definitely read it, (If you haven't, get out from under your rock and go read it.) I thought it was an amazing start to a series, and will become a classic.

If you are looking for an amazing Sci-Fi adventure, (and page turner), pick this book up today.

MY RATING: 5/5 stars, this book was incredible!

Book Review: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games Written by Suzanne Collins
Page Count:374
Published September 14th, 2008
Goodreads Summary:
Winning will make you famous.
Losing means certain death.

In a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called the Hunger Games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed.

When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sister's place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature. 

My thoughts:

The first time I tried to read this, I couldn't get into it. But after that, I couldn't put it down! It is a page turner that will keep you guessing. This book is so full of action, that you will rush out to purchase the second book.

Okay, so Katniss Everdeen is a born hunter. She hunts in the woods beyond district twelve to survive. She doesn't hunt alone, she hunts alone with Gale Hawthorne. On the Reaping Day, her sister, Primrose Everdeen, is singled out as the female tribute for the 74th Annual Hunger Games. Katniss volunteers as tribute for her sister, and is immediately sent to the Capitol. While at the Capitol, she trains and prepares for The Hunger Games. 

While in the arena, she fights for survival. She starves, Becomes dehydrated, and is injured in many ways. She becomes friends with a tribute from another district, Rue. Rue reminds her of her sister, and immediately befriends her. 

Katniss is a very smart character, and in some parts of the book, makes stupid decisions. Sometimes, I felt a little annoyed with her, but her decisions always work out in the end. All in all, I really do like Katniss as a character.

I love Peeta and Katniss' love story, it is really cute and sorta realistic. I also like how loyal Katniss is to her sister. She cares about her and doesn't want to see her get hurt.

If you are looking for an amazing sci-fi, dystopian adventure, pick this book up now.

Hello, Welcome to my Book Blog!

Hello, I just wanted to say welcome to my book blog. I enjoy talking about books, but feel awkward in front of a camera. I might start a Booktube channel in the future, but for now, It won't happen. I will be reviewing books right after I finish them. I will take requests on books to read. Thank you for viewing my blog.
