That was a very interesting book! Weird and bizarre, but good!

A proper review is sure to come.

Heart and Brain is the collection of small comics of two comical characters we all know well. Heart and Brain. Taking a satirical spin to them, they talk about real life situations from the point of view of each organ and what their function is. This results in a funny, endearing comic strip that'll have you laughing out loud!

This was a really nice read. I mean, I love seeing satirical versions of what my heart and brain would be like. I think they represented them exactly as they are. The heart naive and reckless, but with true feelings and the drive for the better. The brain logical and responsible, but with flaws as minimum feelings and others like procrastination. None of them was better than the other and both as importante as each other.

And I loved that sometimes it wouldn't just be a funny, ironical or sarcastic joke presented, but that they added some small little moments of deep thinking and important messages.

I really like the Awkward Yeti. The only thing I would have like to see more was the other organs as well. So much heart and brain could be a little boring. Specially because the format was always the same and it could get repetitive.

But great bind up. Love to read more.

Initial Reaction

I really liked this! I love The Awkward Yeti and all their comics. And I was surprised a little that it actually had some very deep meanings hidden in it.

As you guessed, proper review to come.

Ok, so, I went an looked to other reviews for inspiration for writing. And I realized a thing.
There are two, no, three kind of different reviews.
Reviews N 1, or how I decided to call them, “I'm to mainstream for this” are the one with people who read it and then went to the part of “this is stupid, it's for people who need support, it's just too rebel” and things like that. They face the part where the book is like those things in school who just repeat the same and they believe that with those words they're going to change the world. For this reviews, it's not that you're bad or things like that, it's just that you go to negative on it. I mean, the book is kind of designed for being like that, to help, to help people realize what they can do. So, chill, enjoy!
Reviews N 2, or the way I called them “I just saw THE thing and my life is not the same”, are the ones who give this book their heart and soul. This people probably felt a lot better after reading it, in which case is the book porpoise. But they go a little to deep in the prayers for the book. And it's ok, everyone obsesses or gets changed by something. But it's funny to see the contrast between this reviews and the first one.
Reviews N 3, the “reviewers in the middle”, are the ones who go “I like this” and that's it or “Nice message” Period. They fill the reviews. There's always this kind of reviewers.

As for me, I think I go to the second kind with a touch of the first one.
When I finished the book, the first thing my mom told me was “what did you learn about it”. This was my answer

I think that the book tries to tell you that you can do whatever-WHATEVER-you want. All the things you want, you can do it, and the only barrier holding you there is yourself. Yourself, fears, Sadness, courage, bravery, happiness included. And even sometimes, the problem is that the people who restrain themselves, also restrain everybody else, and they do it thinking they have the power to do it. But they don't. They don't get to decide, you get to decided. It's your body, your mind, your soul, your ideas and, in this case, your wings. No one can't decide for you about yourself and neither do you to the rest.

And finally I finish! It took me a while and a lot of determination but it was worth the effort. If a little slow at times, it's very gripping. It makes you want to read it at all hours to see what's going to happen next, what part of the story are you going to find, who's really who in the story... I enjoyed this book immensely. Very smart and real. And I can't hardly wait to read the sequel to this. The only thing that ticked me was the excessive descriptions of everything and everyone. It could have done without a good 100 pages. Although necessary at times, some things should have been left without saying, after all, they didn't add anything to the story.

All the same, a great book I would recommend to everyone that isn't squeamish or sore on delicate subjects, because this has a lot of them. But most definitely read this book.

OMG! That was incredibly amazing! I'm so in love with Death Vigil and my heart is filled with all the happiness and amazingness that this graphic novel was! I can't recommend it enough please read it you'll love it so much!

Part of the Speed Reviews.

Pequeña historia sobre el coronel y su esposa, que viven en total miseria y en constante amenaza de quedar sin dinero, sin comida, sin nada. Como pequeño rayo de esperanza, el Coronel va todos los viernes al puerto, a esperar la llegada de su correspondiente pensión, por sus servicios dados a la patria. Pero siempre recibe la misma noticia, el coronel no tiene quien le escriba.

Este libro fue corto y entretenido. Siempre es bueno leer algo de García Márquez, ya que su manera de escribir es muy especial. El cuento en si fué deprimente, con la miseria y tristeza en la que vive esta pareja, y las decisiones que tienen que tomar. Empieza triste y termina triste. Y no hay nada que se pueda hacer por ellos.

Review in English

Little story about the colonel and his wife, who live in utter poverty and in constant threat of being without money, without food or nothing. As a small ray of hope, Colonel goes every Friday to the port, to wait for their corresponding pension for their services rendered to the country. But always get the same news, Colonel no one writes.

This book was short and entertaining. It's always good to read some of Garcia Marquez, as his writing is very special. The story itself was depressing, with misery and grief in which the couple lives and the decisions they have to make. Sad sad begins and ends. And there's nothing you can do for them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Some things more than other. But I thought it was actually great. It definitely proved to be more of what I thought it was going to be. Bigger review to come.

The Girl on the Train is the thrilling mystery of a woman who saw something she wasn't supposed to and was at the wrong place wrong time, or was she? Deceptions, confusion, death and more are sure to follow along, told in the voices of not one but three unreliable characters, all women.

This book was difficult to put down, from the beginning to the end. It grips you close using the unknown. You just have to know what happened, is everyone ok, who is really bad and who is not what they seem.

From the beginning, the book plays with the image you construct yourself of the characters, playing with your mind and trust and making you question everyone and everything. Much like a great mystery must do.

The main character is Rachel, and she is just the most unreliable character you'll ever read. You can't trust her, at all, but you feel bad for her, and then think her a crazy bitch, and then not quite. In the end, you're left with a feeling that you might as well don't get close to her, even thought she's not that bad.

For everyone who said that this was a creepier Gone Girl, I don't agree. I mean, there are some similarities The fact that Tom was such a psycho in disguise and the missing girl element, but really, this book is different. And at times is a little bit more unsettling than Gone Girl, but I think Gone Girl is a whole different type of fucked up.

For the most part, this book was excellent, great writing, good plot line and nice twist. But the one thing I didn't like, and it's actually pretty big, is that I guessed what was happening way before the twist started to unravel. I never felt what was happening normal, so I questioned everything that the author let us know, and so I managed to figure out what was happening almost halfway through. Shame.

Hence the why I put a 4.25 rating. I never go hard with books I figure out way before the big reveal, because it happens all the time. But at the same time it didn't stay with me for a long time, so I considered that as well.

But do not let this discourage you, this book is a great thriller, really fucked up and nice for the mind exercise. Maybe you'll be taken aback by the ending. Who knows?

I recommend this to everyone, and yes, for the ones who are looking for a Gone Girl type of book, but don't expect it to be like it. And if you're soft hearted, be careful with it.

I'm 98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed that you'll love this book.

Rusty Nailed is the delicious sequel to Romance novel, Wallbanger. In here, Caroline and Simon's relationships reaches the stage of settling down in to normal life, which seems to have Caroline a little busy. And with all the overload of work she's getting, her life is soon to be a mess. She now has to find a way of balancing life or everything will come crumbling down.

My initial thoughts of this book where that it was better than the first book and that it was filled with much more character development and funnier scenes. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that it wasn't better than the first book, that it had way more flaws and holes than Wallbanger. And then I thought, wait, it is better in some ways than others. And then I thought, no it isn't and...

In resume, I'm not sure what to think about it, but this is what I've managed to gather down of my feelings.

I think that this book had a way better plot than the last one, because it wasn't only about Caroline and Simon's relationship, it was about: Caroline and Simon's relationship, how she felt, her work and how it was all too much and the friends and Simon's past and feeling good and traveling. And I think it's great that the author tried to add more to this novel, but I think somewhere in the way, she lost control of it. As in, she built up situations and resentment towards things that at the end of the book were never resolved or confronted. It's like she tried to create this big thing and then realized how massive it actually was and how out of control it got and then just forgot about a few things and focused on the other.

In my opinion, I think she should have found a better way to wrap things up, not to rush it as much and to pay attention to more details in the novel. I've come to the conclusion that she wrote things that she didn't know where going to have a consequences on how the novel was taken.

Or maybe I expected to much of this novel.

But I do appreciate her trying to change things down a bit, just not the final execution she gave it.

Something that really bothered me was the ridiculousness of some parts of the book. The whole Sophia-Neil business was plain ridiculous and not funny at all. It was annoying to read and it was obvious to were it lead. But the premise of the things that started it all Neil cheating on Sophia got me interested, but ended plain disappointed. And the fights that this would have caused gave foot to another yet great plot to add but she didn't see it and just wouldn't take the opportunity.

It was very interesting in some parts, others where boring. You'll forgive me, but I thought that Simon's High-school reunion scene was boring and she could have done better.

Also, in this book the predictive-ness was all over the place and unlike the first book it didn't really work, for me. I think that it all just went monotonically to were it was supposed to go and no real twist happened.

Writing this review has done wanders for me, I now have a clearer understatement of my thoughts.

In conclusion, I didn't have high expectations but expected better anyway. It was flawed and not very good and I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. I do like the way it ended thought, even if she didn't quite wrap it as she should. And I recommend to read this if you have an urge of knowing what's next, but don't get high hopes on it.

OMG, I'm so happy! My mom bought this to me today, or well, it arrived today, and she bought it in hard cover and everything, and I'm so happy and excited and maybe want to cry!!!!!

This was really good. It gave us an insight in Four's life with things that I needed to know and things that I didn't even knew I needed to know. It explains with real scenarios how the Marcus/Tobias relationship really works and I think I finally start to think better of it. It gave me back that feeling of not wanting to put it down that I had with Divergent, and I was tented to give a 5 star if it wasn't for a little small problem I had with it. But the rest was amazing. I can't wait to see what other little stories the author has for us that will make me fall for this story like Divergent did. And it made me like Tobias a little bit more. And hate Marcus a whole lot more.
Gave it a 4.25 ish. Excellent novella.

Only With You is the story of how Sophie Dalton's life changes completely after she is mistaken by a man for a hooker while being trapped in an elevator in Las Vegas. But what she didn't expect, was that she'd see the man again, and things might not go as well.

While reading this, one of the main things that kept in my mind was that I'd seen this story before. And not only before, a thousand times before.

Everything in the book felt cliche. The characters, the situations, even the main plot. And all this cliches made it predictable as hell. I wasn't really surprised at anything that happened, actually, I expected it all to happen.

And not only was it predictable and cliche. It also was unrealistic. The characters got this conversations out of nowhere and this conclusions that didn't make sense. And they'd feel things out of nowhere and than not feel them and then feel them again. At first I didn't pay attention to it but it got kind of ridiculous while I moved on.

One things I really couldn't stand about this. They way everything was keen to be sexual. And I mean like, for everything, she'd be horny and sexually frustrated. Not only her, but Gray (the MC). There were this romantic and then one of them would go and be like “SEX” or “My lady parts” or some shit like that. It bugged the shit out of me.

I didn't really like any of the characters, because I never actually understood who they were. They where always changing and do things that didn't make sense and they never acknowledge those thing and agh. It was a mess.

In conclusion, this book might be enjoyable for some people, but for me it was just too flawed and cliche for my liking. I've just heard this story way to many times.

This is why I don't read romance.

My initial thoughts on this are that it's really cliche and it has flaws all over the plave but it's actually enjoyable so it's baaaaad but it's not good.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is the thrilling start for the wonderful Narnia series, where we get introduced to the marvelous adventures of Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter, how it all started, and all the adventures that await.

Damn, I really like this series. I never read them as little because I just didn't have them here. But now I did and I feel great.

starting by saying, the movie adaptation was actually extremely close to the book. I mean, all the events from the book are in the movie, and they weren't changed chronologically or anything. There is of course, the factor that the book always offers more in depth knowledge of the story. But over all, very good adaptation.

The characters where even cuter in this book. But at the same, I didn't see them in depth, or at least not all. For example, Susan felt pretty ghostly for me, commenting when needed and being there to cause some trouble. But I can tell you, I hate Edmund more now. Before he was just an idiot. Now I find him an idiot and very stupid and evil.

One thing that surprised me was how Aslan's character changed for me. I had a very cute, harmless image of him, and with this book he became a little scary, actually.

And the scene where Aslan goes to the witch to be sacrificed, it affected more than it had with the movie. It was gruesome, even. I don't know, felt a little weird reading it like that.

Only thing, is that it's not as interesting as I thought it could be. And nothing really surprising happened.

Overall, I thought it was a great start for a book. definitely read it.

This are such cute books! And unlike the other one, this one had some angst and frustrating parts as well. I loved, I'm glad that I've read this. But now I won't be able to read the rest because the first two are the only ones I own. Maybe one day.

This review contains spoilers, I don't think I could talk about it without them.

Rating: 3,5 stars.

Oh, Allegiant. Why?

I'm just going to flat out say it. Unlike most people, I didn't hate the ending. Actually, I though the ending was the best part of the whole book. It was beautiful, well made and it had the original idea of what Divergent used to be (for me, anyway).

Once I finished reading this, I was quite sad about that ending. I felt hollow inside, because, goddammit, it's horrible. Once I reread it, I was able to look at it from another angle, and realize that I loved that ending.

And also, most importantly, most of the problems I had with this book, were because of Insurgent. As in, all the things that were happening, had a reason, and that reason happened in Insurgent. And I hate Insurgent. But the book itself had problems all the same.

The whole book was pretty boring since the beginning. And when things did actually happen, in which one would think it'd be huge and complicated...it lasted for about 3 chapters, or less.

The whole theme about how this was all just an experiment that the government decided to do, to see if it worked, you know, just playing around, and then it didn't work, things that happen all the time, so they just tried to fix it by more experiment, and just controlling everybody like a puppetNO. NO, NO, NO AND NO.

Ok, so, I can understand a government who manipulates people as they please, but they always do it secretly and with some sort of decency. They just don't flat out go and do it. They always have some cover or something, and they never go as far as that. So, no, it's not logical, not even close, ok? I hate this concept. It's not complete. It's not done well, it's like she just wrote it out just to get rid of that part and move on. Well, guess what? NO.

Another thing that annoyed me was how stupid were Tobias and Tris' fights. Like, come on. Tobias going to Nita so blindly just because she's “like him” with all the damaged genes stuff. And then Tris trying to convince Tobias that Nita wasn't good because she was jealous of her and she though it was wrong. Like, bitch, I wouldn't trust you either if you just told “Don't”. Ugh!And something that got me completely screaming with frustration was just how much I hated Tobais in Allegiant. When things where happening and he just froze like “What do I do, do I go or not? Is it right or wrong?” BITCH, YOU'RE DAUNTLESS. AND NOT JUST ANY DAUNTLESS. YOU'RE FOUR. And for what I've learned in this whole series is that Tobias doesn't freeze for stupid things. And that's exactly what he did here.When Nina's attack plan is on track, I swear it only last about two chapters. Like, no, it was supposed to last at least seven and be epic, not such a failure. Agh, i can't deal.Then we have Tris. Since the moment Tobias told Tris letting a person die for you because he loves you it's a true act of selflessness, I knew. Immediately. She was going to sacrifice herself for Caleb. Fuck. Me.Here is when Insurgent enters. Caleb is an idiot, and I've hated him through all the books. In Insurgent, I wanted him death. But he didn't die. And then he expects to be forgiven, with such stupid reasons. I literally can not deal with him. And then Tris decided to die for him.Ok, it actually made sense. And it's a really good idea. And I love the whole thing. I really do. What bothers me is the reason. Caleb wasn't worth it. If maybe Caleb hadn't done such stupid things back in Insurgent, I would have accepted this. Or maybe even if he had shown some kind of real remorse for what he did, I would have forgiven him. It was that easy. But he just has so little character development, that he didn't. And that's what pisses me off about the ending. Not the fact that she died, but the fact that it was for Caleb.sigh. Moving on.I though the ending after Tris dies was really stupid. Not Tobias parts, but the background. It was just so simple how things turned out. So stupidly simple. I can't deal. Like, the government completely ignored them and moved on. And they got their “happy ending”. And I was like, that's it, really, that's all you had to do. I could have done that in my sleep. (ok, no, but you know what I mean).I found completely unnecessary Uriah's death. It had no reason to be. And specially in such a horrible way. It's ridiculous.I did like those few last chapters, they were perfect for the ending. It was pretty sad, did not cry, as always, but it did left a hollow feeling in my chest. For a while.Another thing I didn't like was the whole Tobias/Evelyn relationship. I mean, the author never got to something complete. She never let us know what that whole thing was about. There were this mixed signals that never got to anything. I'm just so annoyed by it. And at the end, she's good, but not as good. waaa...The book was really boring. Just a big pile of nothing and unfinished business. It was pretty much plot less. I don't even know what happened in between.I could go on and on, but I'm just getting tired of this, I think I've proved my point.In general, I have it at 3,5 out of five because I'm just that generous, and because of that ending. That's it.If you did enjoy it, please let me know what did you saw in it that made it good to you, because I'm clueless.

I DID IT GUYS, I DID IT! GIVE ME MY AWARD NOW!

If you'd like to read this review on my blog.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars.

Wallbanger is the story of Caroline, professional designer who just moved in to a new apartment, and has just declared herself in a dating-hiatus. She finds that the guy behind her bedroom walls might be getting some more than unusual sex, and then starts and unusual relationship with what she calls her “Wallbanger”.

OK, I admit it, this was thoroughly and completely a guilty pleasure. I admit it, no shame in it.

This is a contemporary, romance, maybe New-Adult novel. This is exactly the type of books that I try to avoid reading, because it normally leads to disappointment and reading slumps, for me. But this novel in particular was filled with humor, which is something I highly appreciate. And this was definitely not a bad one.

It was cheesy, and really predictable, but I didn't care. It was obvious and we all knew it and the author didn't try to hide it, she just worked with it. That's something I'm impressed about and very happy to read.

The characters weren't the best ones or the most deep and full of layers type. I did find myself loving the main characters, Caroline and Simon. I thought they were very real and funny, and I was rooting for them. The other characters gave me mixed feelings. Some were annoying to me, some were really great, some I had to think twice until I remembered who they were. But they weren't stupid or unrealistic and I'm very grateful for that.

The story is cheesy and predictable, but original in it's own way. I think that she added some elements to it that made it not so one-sided. I laughed out loud in several scenes and gripped my hands in anticipation of what was coming. It made me feel, which is always good.

The style of writing was very particular. It wasn't poetic or memorable or majestic. She chose ways to phrase things so that it was 21st century-ish but not overly spoiled-OMG-girl that we all hate. And she added things like phone conversations, that at first I found confusing but then I found myself loving.

Lastly, the romance in the novel wasn't all over the place or overly dramatic. This is very typical of romance, chick-lit novels and it's the main reason of why I run away of them. But I didn't feel that in this novel. Maybe I'm growing into it or this was really a good novel or I just really wasn't paying attention.

I read this because a friend lent it to me and I just said, whatever, why the fuck not? And I went with very low expectations and I ignored a lot of mistakes and pet-peeves of mine. But I really think this novel was a good one. Not just me.

I definitely recommend this to most readers. Maybe if you read more adult, drama books this won't be for you, but I think it appeals to anyone. I gave it 3.5 for the small mistakes (really, I can't never really ignore them) like the cliches in the speeches of the characters, etc and because it was just a passing novel. But a really good one.

How would you feel if you woke up, lonely, with no ID or cellphone and no recollection of your life, not knowing where you are? This is what happens to Ethan Burke, at the beginning of Pines, and things just get more and more confusing and intense from there. What is this place, Wayward Pines? And why is Ethan there?

My God, this was one of the most intense reads ever. And I think one of the only books that I didn't by any means know what was going to happen or what the twist was. I'm still not completely sure what the twist is!

First of all, it was intense. Very fast paced and super intriguing. I don't recollect reading anything boring or not action packed. It was a crazy ride from beginning to end.

The characters, well, they were incredibly weird. Because no one knows anything, and everyone is very, very suspicious. And you don't even know what you're supposed to be suspicious of. But at the same time, you kind of know who is good and who is bad. But it's like everyone is potentially good or bad.

The story itself was full of plot twists. You first think it might be something, and then it's something more deep, and then it's even more complicated than that and it just finally ends up being completely different.

I do have to say, a very strong issue I had with the story was how unrealistic it could seem at times. I mean, the MC Ethan, he's the fucking Terminator. I swear, he literally could have fallen from a plane and still would walk all the way through the story. I mean, maybe the author could have toned it down a little with all the things he did, because man was it kind of ridiculous.

Also, I think it's a very big risk to do something as extravagant for the story. Like, I'm still not completely convinced by it. But maybe the second book will get me around? I've been told it's very good, as well.

Really, this book is completely worth the risk. You won't loose your time at it, and maybe the rest of the series offers a good time as well. Recommend this to everyone, but be aware that it's kind of scary at times.

Initial Reaction

What the fuck did I just read. This book was definitely not what I was expecting. Damn, what?

OMG. I'M DYING HERE, I'M HAVING A MENTAL BREAK DWON. PLEASE SEND HELP. THIS BOOK. PERFECT. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED. JUSDTN VÑAK<

I read this when I was really little (more like I tried to read while my mother said the words to me).
Recently (for the moment), with the Frozen movie coming up, I was intrigued when I read it was mildly based in this book. So I said, well, I don't remember anything about it, so, why not? Besides, I read it Spanish when I was little, so it was even better to read it in English.
The story was fun, cute, kind of dark, typical childish ridiculousness that you can find in kids books, but with a major message behind it all, as always.
I've always though that good kids' books have this really big, dark, profound theme masked with cute things and not-so offensive villains. This story was no exception.
I did have a small disagreement with the my mother about the queen. I didn't actually though she was bad. I mean, she didn't exactly show any signs of it, she looked natural to me.
It was a really fun read, a little longer than what I expected, and easy to read. You should all read it at some point.

This was actually pretty cool. You don't know how much I was dying when I read this scene in Divergent, because when I read this scene I thought Tobias was kind of mean, and I was there like “Bitch! Why you do that? Reading this is so much better, it's like, mental peace. Fun story to read.

.-Part of the Project Austen-.

Rating: 5/5 stars.

Sense and Sensibility is the story of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, two sisters that find love in different ways. Marianne, eccentric and extroverted. Elinor, quiet and reserved. We see how each's personalities influences the love they expect, and how each suffer's through.

Jane Austen continues to be my favorites author. End of discussion.

This book blew me. It centered around the two north and south poles that were Marianne and Elinor and how each duels on the events that are happening. I'm a person who loves character development, and this was definitely the book for me.

We first have Elinor, whom I can relate the most to. I'm the type of person who's quiet and not keen on putting my feelings out there. I tend to think before I act a lot and tend to lean towards somebody else's happiness instead of mine. And that's exactly what Elinor is. She never did anything in the book that wasn't based on not hurting her mom and sister's feelings. Even if she was incredibly saddened or happy she wouldn't say anything about if she though it could inconvenience somebody else. And every time Marianne did the exact opposite, she would cringe and mentally criticize her. And to have someone that I can relate to so accurately was pretty amazing. There were some things she did that I don't agree with, but most of her behavior was me in a nutshell.

Then we have beautiful Marianne. She's loud and impertinent and she never keeps her thoughts to herself. If she's suffering, the rest of the world suffers with her. You see, as much as she's the complete opposite of me, I found myself agreeing with her so much. And I could relate to her as well. There were things she did that I just had to nod and smile.

Then we have the rest of the characters like their imbecile brother or her ogre of a wife. And the sweet lady who took them under her wing, or she thought she did (can't remember her name, oops). All those characters added the perfect bittersweet feelings when needed.

The overall idea of the story is pretty amazing. Of course, it being a classic and such an old one, the language was kind of difficult for me to keep up at times, specially because English is not my mother language. But once you get hook in it, you read way faster.

I do have to point that around the second part of the book (it's divided in three) it got a little tedious and I found some parts to be unnecessary. But once you get back on the third part it's amazing all over again.

Of course, super in love with Edward (not the sparkly one). Even though he can be quite the idiot for being so slow and such a gentleman, I still forgive him.

Overall, great, amazing, incredible classic by the wonderful Jane Austen who never disappoints me. I really love her stories and the way she writes. Sometimes, I think it's out of this world.

I would recommend this books as much as Pride and Prejudice. You can't just read one Jane Austen and move on. Jane Austen delivers amazingness all over the place.

I can't say that this is over Pride and Prejudice on my favorites, but it's pretty close to it. And I will reread it someday. Not right away, but in the near future.

I'm too mad and tired to write a review! It'll have to be later :@ This fucking book.

This book was magnificent. I read it in the spam of two days and it let me thinking about it forever!Starting with the plot, I though it was very interesting. Even though it was yet another dystopia, it had a very distinctive feel. I was thrilled with the idea of getting divided by your behavior and your likes and your way of thinking. And how depending on the faction, you had strict rules that conditioned you to be and think the way your faction wants. And how you can choose about what faction you feel like you belong the best (even though there's kind of a tabu about that). Also, all the theme about the serum that shows you your greatest and worst first that you probably didn't even knew you had. And the technology in general was very interesting.Then there's the character. At this point, I though Tris was a great MC. I mean, she was the typical skinny, small, no-big-deal, not-so-pretty girl, but she actually got stronger. And she trained for it. She had this determination that was incredible. She actually got up and said “I'm not going to be one of those MC, I'll actually do things for myself”. She kicks ass. And I though that was awesome. And Tobias, well, do I even need to say something? I'm in love this Tobias. He's strong, handsome, sweet and kind of funny. And how he behaves with Tris is just lovely. I never really liked much Christina, but she was a pretty awesome character as well. The “bad ones” were very well done, because I actually did hate them and when that happens it means the author did a good job.About the world building, I don't think at times it actually made sense, and I sometimes had to reread some describing about it because I didn't exactly finished to understand, but I think I did a pretty good job in imagining it, because she lives a lot to your imagination.The only bad thing, is that I pretty much guessed what the major plot and twist was going to be. It was way to obvious to me, but it still surprised me how it was carried. It was very original.I got an obsession with this book since the moment I laid eyes on the first page. I couldn't put it down and much less stop reading, and there was never a time where I got bored.The writing was good, nothing too special. But there were times where she said this really cool things in such a beautiful way. But it was just some specific moments, the rest was normal.I was very excited to read this book, reason why I got very impatient and read the second one right away. And then, after finishing the series, I read the books all over again to see if I could catch any other thing I might have missed. And I must say, from all the books, this is y favorite.Divergent is a fast paced book that will trap you from the beginning, and you won't put it down, neither would you want to. With great characters and action packed scenes, [a:Veronica Roth 4039811 Veronica Roth https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1363910238p2/4039811.jpg] did a great job writing Divergent.If you want to read my review of Insurgent If you want to read my review of AllegiantIf you want to read my review of The TransferIf you want to read my review of Free Four
