Divergent
The book that I am currently reading is "Divergent", I just recently started to read this book because one of my friends recommended this book to me because it was action-packed while being intriguing at the same time. Those two components combine my two favorite genres of suspenseful books and mystery/adventure books. So I thought to myself, "Why not start a new book?"
So far in this book, I have read about how the world has become infected in the future. The people have been forced to go in isolation in the city of Chicago. Right away, they have decided to uphold a new form of government which are factions. Factions are in charge of different parts of the government, for example, Abnegation (Tris' parent's faction) is in charge of making the laws, while Dauntless is in charge of enforcing these laws and protecting the city of Chicago.
The best thing about this book is that Divergent combines my absolute favorite genres, as I've mentioned before, they are Mystery and Suspense. Mystery is present in this book because in the book, something is happening behind the factions which is mysterious because the book gives glimpses throughout the story of people plotting to take over the city of Chicago and make the factions obey them. The book has suspense in it because the book has a lot of action and suspense and action are directly related. Suspense is most likely present when there is action and vice-versa. I really enjoyed reading this book.
I read most of the Divergent series and I personally think the first was the most interesting, it starts to drag on once you reach the middle of Insurgent. By the way, I never noticed the mystery aspect of the novel until you pointed it out. Nice observation skills.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty cool blog you did a good job explaining why you liked the book but try to use specific details from the books to show the action and mystery
ReplyDeleteNice work on describing the basic plot line of the book. It would be easy to understand for anyone who hasn't read the book. But like Freddie said, use quotes to show specific details.
