Book Review

During Christmas 2010, I opened my stocking to find the Hunger Games trilogy set from my husband. I thanked him and then thought..."why the heck did he buy me these weird books". My oldest sister had already read them and told me to stop being a brat and read them. My sisters have always been good at putting me in my place!

Over the next week, I finished all 3 books and LOVED THEM!!! When I was done, I was so sad they were over and have passed the books along to anyone that would listen to me.

A few months ago, a blog friend recommended another book. She said if I loved the Hunger Games, then I should give this new author a chance.
I introduce you to DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth.
This was a quick read and pretty good. Of course it wasn't as good as Hunger Games, but still worth a read. Divergent is the 1st in a trilogy, but the 2nd book won't come out until May. boo

If you are lame like me and enjoy reading "young adult" books, give this one a chance!

On another note, is everyone as excited as me to see The Hunger Games in March?!?!

I'll have to check out this other book. Sounds like a great read.

Er- I didn't want to get anyone too excited about the book. Its a good, easy read...but not as good as hunger games. BUT, you should read it if you want to read one similar to Hunger Games
