Book #1: "Divergent"... Finished!!

Book #1 "Divergent" by Veronica Roth: "That is all I need: to remember who I am. And I am someone who does not let inconsequential things like boys and near-death experiences stop her." page 346
    "Divergent" is about our world in the future, no it doesn't give an idea of just how far into the future it is, and how things are different. In the world, or at least in the city of Chicago where the book takes place, according to "Divergent" everyone is split up into one of 5 different 'factions' or groups which are based on different human characteristics; Abnegation is the selfless, Amity the peaceful, Candor the honest, Erudite the intelligent, and Dauntless the brave.    
    The story follows the life of Beatrice, or Tris as she starts to be referred to in the book, as she goes through the choosing ceremony and then the initiation process that will ultimately pick which faction she will spend the rest of her life in.
    On the crazy off chance that you have not seen any of the trailers for the "Divergent" movie that is due to come out in March 2014 I will not ruin anything by telling you which faction she picks.
    If you have either watched or read any of the "Hunger Games" that will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect when starting in on "Divergent". Now that being said, and I really don't want to spend to much time comparing the two because I really do think they are both quite good on their own, I don't want to give you the impression that they are both the same much more to emphasize that they have the same feel to them. (If that makes any sense at all)
    The book was very well written and just a really good read overall. It is the first in a trilogy so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the next one as soon as possible.
   The next book up for #2 is a bit more of a classic, it's "Peter Pan" by J.M.Barrie. I've been wanting to read this for awhile and I finally got my own copy of it for Christmas. However, I've been warned that Peter is kind of a villain in the book so hopefully that doesn't mess with everything I've been taught in my childhood to much.
   Oh before I forget, Page Count for 2014: 487 pages.
   
   That's all for now,
