Insurgent (Divergent)
By Veronica Roth (Author) I have found more often than not, when you read these Young Adult trilogies the second book usually turns out to not be as interesting as the other two. However, I was pleasantly surprised with Insurgent by Veronica Roth. She was able to not only keep the story flowing without skipping a a single beat but also develop a stronger storyline. You are sucked in right from the first words which quote the Candor Manifesto, right to the very last page of the book. It is indeed the perfect companion to Divergent, which is the […]
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 […]
Never Go Back: A Jack Reacher Novel
By Lee Child Before I got my copy of Never Go Back, the latest in the Jack Reacher series, I read a lot of bad reviews from many long time fans. They all compare this book to the very first ones and expected it to be just as exciting at the very least. After reading the book, I personally still like Jack and still find it hard to resist him. This book is not the best in the series, but I enjoyed reading through its pages. In the last few books, Jack Reacher has been attempting to head back […]
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 […]
Fifty Shades Freed
Book Three of the Fifty Shades Trilogy By E.L. James If you had asked me before I read the first book in this trilogy, I probably would never have said that I enjoy reading this genre of books. However, the first two books got me hooked, I had no option but to read ‘Fifty Shades Of Freed’ which is the last installment in the series. This one had more of a plot and less sex scenes and personal conversations. Everything finally started to make sense. I know many women all over the world, and some men really appreciate the author […]
