Adventure/SciFi/Fantasy/Teen Dystopian
I am a sucker for teen dystopian novels, despite being 24. Ever since I read the Giver in 3rd grade, I have loved them. I think its the fact that they are much more creative and imaginative than modern day books. Conversely, they tend to not have as much magic or unrealistic elements that most fantasy books have. Overall, they are amazing.
The latest one I have read was the book "Divergent", by Veronica Roth. I read the entire 500 page novel in a day. From the first page on, it was addictive and a great read. The basic premise of the book is that the protagonist is a 16 year girl who lives in a futuristic world that has solved the worlds problems by dividing people into 5 factions- people who are selfless, people who are fearless, people who are happy, people who are full of knowledge. The protagonist is born into the selfless faction, but needs to decide which faction she will be part of for the rest of her life on her 16th birthday. She takes a test that is supposed to determine her faction state and gets abnormal results, which she is advised not to share. In the end she decides to join the fearless faction. The book is exciting and full of twists, turns, romance, and adventure. Overall stupendous read.
Finished this book and can't wait for next!
