Divergent by Veronica Roth


This book is about a girl, Beatrice Prior, who has to choose a faction to live in. There are 5 factions: Erudite, Candor, Abnegation, Amity and Dauntless . The aptitude test will give her the most probable factions where she won’t be factionless after initiation. But Beatrice’s test gives a different result and she will have to choose all on her own. Will she choose Abnegation, which is where she comes from or one of the other factions? It’s up to her to choose...


I liked this book because it had a lot of suspense and it was very intriguing. What I liked also was the fact that you always wanted to continue it. I had sort of guess which faction she chose when I saw the cover. But if I read this book, it’s because I had started to see the movie but I didn’t finish it so I was wondering what could happen.


I rate this book 4.5 stars because I really liked the suspense and adventurous part but there was parts that were less intriguing and that I enjoyed less. But it is still a very good book and I recommend it to people who like suspense and adventure.

The House of Hades is in a series called Heros of olympus, it is the 4th book of the series and it is about 6 demigods and one satyr and two of their friends, Percy and Annabeth, who are in tartarus, the place where monsters are born, are heading to the doors of deaths, which allows monsters to go to the mortal world,  to close it. If they don't make it than the world will be invaded by giants who will keep re-spawning and the world will end.
My Opinion and reasons: I really like this book because because it is the one with the most action and suspense for me and there are a lot of fun surprises. My Rating/Recommendation: I recommend this book to people who like fantasy and Greek mythology and action and surprises.

Wonder by R.J Palacio

My Summary: august pullman is not an ordinary kid. he does ordinary things. he eats ice cream. he plays games. but, he is not normal. Born with a terrible face, he has been homeschooled his whole life. now he’s going to a real school, and he’s dreading it. can he convince his new classmates that he’s  just like them under it all?


My Opinion and reasons:
This is a great book with a strong message: always believe in yourself. One reason is he is a kid with an ugly face and people think he is a monster. Then he proves to them that he is not a monster and has normal feelings just like everyone else. There is also a message to others; remember that everyone has feelings.

My Rating/Recommendation: 6 out of 5 s: because it goes a lot deep into auggie’s life, and it  goes deep into lives he touches forever.
