Why am I so chipper this morning? Did I really just say chipper?Yup, totally did. I may have had a little too much coffee. And sugar. And fizzy pop. He he. I'm like a kid today. Okay **takes deep breath, full body wiggle** I am calm.
What's gotten me so excited, besides all the crap I consume, is this book. It seems that everyone has read this. Okay, so not everyone-everyone. More like, every blog I read, they've all read it. Yeah. So, I put it off for a super long time. Too long. And with the movie coming out, and I knew I would be going to see it, I thought it would be best to read the books first. I'm not gonna lie, at first, totally didn't work for me. But, BUT that was only because it had been so damn long since I read anything other than serious Alpha crap, my poor brain didn't know what was happening.
The little pink brain, sitting in the weird brainy library at the back of my actual brain was like "wow, wow, WOW there girlie, what is happening here? What is this text you are reading? Where are the handcuffs, blindfolds and whips? Where are the big, bad men who take what they want and give their women some serious shit to be happy about?" Poor Brainy, he had a little panic there. Fear not! I got over it, and when I did...
IT WAS AWESOME!!!
So, what's all the fuss about?
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the
cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave),
Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-
olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is
between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a
choice
that surprises everyone, including herself
It's intense. It didn't make my heart stop, but god, I loved it. I don't know how to explain my reactions while reading, because one minute I would be rooting for Tris, the next I would be close to tears. I loved Four. I loved her friends. I loved her family.
I can't review this so good right now. I just needed to write something, anything. The only downside? And this might sound super odd, but I would have liked to read more in the scenes revolving around her parent's..towards the end. I don't want to add spoilers right now. But yeah, that's the only real thing I can find fault with!
5 stars!
I'll update the review once my brain can function properly hehe.
