Divergent
By Veronica Roth As a fan of the Hunger Games series, I decided to take on the hyped up Divergent series. It turns out the two are very similar, one just has a lot more rules. This new series by author Veronica Roth was clearly not written for adults, but more for teenagers. If you are going to be asking questions and looking for logic or explanations, you will most probably not enjoy this book. This 487 page book is set in a futuristic, dystopian Chicago which has the the city divided into five factions: Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite, Candor, and […]

Si-cology 1: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle
By Si Robertson Uncle Si has published a book and I absolutely love it. If you like the A&E show Duck Dynasty you will love this book. If you have never watched the show before, like my friend Tim you will still love this book. Si is a very funny guy and boy does he tell some good stories. I have to admit there was some concern before I read the book, that it would just rehash stuff from the TV show. I was dead wrong, one of those few times I was happy to be wrong. You can actually […]
The Great Gatsby
By F. Scott Fitzgerald This book is regarded as one of the great American literature classics of twentieth-century. I read it before in high school, but since they were releasing the new movie with Leonardo Di Caprio I decided to read it again. This time around I think I enjoyed reading it more than back then and it seems like I got a lot more from it. You get to relive the glitz and glamour of the the 1920’s with a whole buffet of scandals, romance any even mystery too. The main story within The Great Gatsby is how Jay […]
The Burgess Boys: A Novel
By Elizabeth Strout If you have read author Elizabeth Strout’s book that won her a Pulitzer Prize titled ‘Olive Kitteridge’ you may like me have been a little anxious to find out what her next book would be like. However, after I got my hands on ‘The Burgess Boys’ it sucked me in right from the prologue. If the pages at the beginning of the book do not captivate you too, you should probably put down the book. Elizabeth clearly was given the gift of story telling, her prose is just beautiful and she digs deep down into the human […]
The Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games : You know they usually say that the movies they make do not do the book justice. This is another one of those situations when that is true. There was so much hype when the blockbuster movie was released, that as a human being I became very curious. It did not help hearing all the teens swear that although the movie is great the book was on another level. For the record, the movie is really good. The Hunger Games is set in a fictitious country called Panem, which exists in the same area […]
