Divergent .....

So it's finally time to review one of my favorite books I've ever read DIVERGENT! As you guys, who read my blog regularly, know that I loved this book so much and have been saying that I'm going to review and never got round to it, but now I am and I'm very happy and excited to review the book I love so much. 

So lets begin, my favorite character in the whole entire book has to be Four aka Tobias. I absolutely fell in love with him from the word go, he's just strong and he has his guard up at the start and treats Tris differently and then I began to realize that he liked her and I'm a sucker for a love story so I was thrilled that Tris and Four got together. 

I loved the world that it was set in with the five factions, Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave) and Erudite (the intelligent) my favorite faction was Dauntless. I've debated with myself whether I'd survive it because I'm quite a strong person and I can handle most things that are thrown at me but whether I could jump of a train I don't know and also we only go to really see the Abnegation and Dauntless factions so maybe if I'd gotten to experience all of them I'd decide better.

I love how both Tris and Four are Divergent (was it obvious, I think so but it's still good!) There were some shocking moments though like when Edward got stabbed in the eye, I really wasn't expecting that and it was kinda gross. Tris annoyed me a little I don't really know why but sometimes when the book is from the girls perspective I get a little annoyed because they over think everything and I'm just like "Get to the point".

But I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have now brought the second one Insurgent to read, hopefully it's as good as Divergent. If you haven't read the book before and you want to know the basic plot her it is (I just realized I hadn't said it earlier whoops) But Tris was born into the Abnegation and was brought up to be selfless always giving to other people before thinking about herself. And when they turn 16 I think it is they have to do an Aptitude test where it decides which Faction is best for you. Tris's Aptitude test was different she changed it in some way which basically meant that she was Divergent, and it's practically an Abomination to be Divergent so she has to hide it from anyone. When it comes to deciding which Faction she wants to live in she has to decide whether to stay with her parents in Abnegation or transfer to Dauntless. She ends up choosing Dauntless and has to go through the initiation process. The rest of the book is based on the initiation process of how Tris struggles to hide being Divergent and falling in love with Four, making friends, learning to fight and to finally fitting in.

I strongly recommend that you read this book if you haven't yet and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Comment what you thought of the book if you've read it I'd love to know. Thanks for reading, byee x

The Fault In Our Stars....

Hey there guys, so as you can see I'm going to be talking about the ever so amazing The Fault In Our Stars book by John Green. It really didn't take me long to read as it's around 300 pages but boy in those 300 pages there were so many emotions, I laughed, I cried and I hoped so bad that IT wouldn't happen. Before I go any further this is going to be a "Spoiler" so I'm going to go into detail of the story line and say what happened and what I thought so if you haven't read this yet I'd advise you to read it then come back :) 

So to start with the cover is amazing, the simplicity of it it perfect and really relates to the book. It's almost like the sky with two clouds and then you could say it's almost like heaven where both Gus and Hazel are now. See media brain always making connections and over thinking things.

But anyway, the overall story touched me so much and the fact that John Green wrote it from Hazel's perspective is awesome. He captured a "Girl's brain" perfectly, which is kinda creepy but it's John Green I guess he's the exception. I love how the two characters meet at the boring support group where Patrick tells the same "he lost his balls" story and that even though they've just met they go back to Gus' house. Who would do that like seriously no one but in this book it fits perfectly and the roller-coaster starts from then. I love Gus' character the most, he's quirky and only has one leg, but is still beautiful and charming. He tries to be different and he's honest about his feelings towards Hazel which most boys aren't. The Amsterdam section was so cute and the fact that they had an amazing time together, it was just awesome, I don't know what else to say. I fell in love with it haha. And then... 

 Gus DIES!! I really didn't expect him to die, I cried I'll admit that but I know lots of people did too so I'm no the only one. But yeah when Augustus died it was horrible and dark, his quirky jokes gone and Hazel was depressed (as to be expected really) and this was such a sad way to end the book but this is life and it does happen. I'm so glad that John Green just old it how it is, there's swearing in book and raw emotion oh and the drunk Peter Van Houten who was rather cruel to Hazel.

Also this is one of my favorite part of the book because Gus is dying in the car basically and he rings Hazel and she comes and she finds him with sick all over him and then he comes out and says "This is it. I can't even not smoke anymore!" and Hazel replies "Gus, I love you." I laughed at Gus's comment and almost cried at Hazel's. I'm such a hopeless romantic that I love a good love story, although it's about a young couple dying they still fell in love in a very beautiful way. It was beautiful to read and to experience such art! If you haven't read it and you went against what I said earlier you need to read it!! 

Thanks for reading guys, see you next time byee

Book Review on Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver,Linger and Forever Series.

Hey there guys, now when I read these books it took me a while but not as long as books usually take me because sadly and annoyingly I'm a very slow reader, but these books captured my attention enough for me to read them rather fast, and because I enjoyed them so much I was dieing to review them so other people can go check them out and give them a little read because seriously they are absolutely amazing. So lets get to it....                                                                                                                                                      

 In the picture above are the three books in order, starting with Shiver. I'm going to give you a brief outline of what they're about because I think it's best to start there. So the books are about a pack of wolves living in Minnesota. The leader Beck owns a house on the edge of the woods, this is because the wolves turn into their human forms during the summer and then turn into their wolf forms during the winter. There's a girl named Grace who also lives on the edge of the woods and is often left to her own devices as her parents are busy and don't pay her much attention. In the first book,Shiver, the reader is met with Grace being attacked by the wolves.

 Throughout the book it flicks between Grace and Sam's point of view. Sam is one of the wolves and as the books develop we find that he was taken in by Beck when he was younger. I don't want to give too much away in case you decide to read them so I'm missing bits out and giving an overall thought on the series.
The books have many shocking moment that leave you craving more which is one of the ways Maggie creates the characters lives and story lines they lead. As it was a while ago since I read them I can't quite remember what happened in each book but I remember what happens throughout the series. The reader eventually find out that the wolves that attacked Grace were from the same pack that Sam was from and that he saved her from them. Sam has this power that none of the others can do, he can make himself turn human. Another fact that Maggie reveals is that when they reach a certain age they stay in their wolf from till they die, Beck who Sam looks up to as a father figure has reached that age and is now I wolf, we learn how much he impacts on Sam and the rest of the pack. The way Maggie Stiefvater has written the books you literally don't want to put them down, they entice you and you become apart of the word and characters within. She bring emotion with her writing which is important to this type of story line as there is a love story within.I strongly recommend these books and they cost £7.99 for each one, I got mine from Waterstones but you can buy them online. I know I haven't gone into much detail but I didn't want to spoil it for those who decide to read them. Thanks for reading x
