Divergent!

Consensus: Divergent is a quick, easy read. Rather than the original plan of reading it in 2 weeks, I think it took us all 2 days to finish! Very formulaic young adult on many levels (boy meets girl, boy flirts with girl, girl doesn't realize that boy is flirting, girl realizes she likes boy... and so on!), but the concept of five factions is new, unique, and gives you something to think about. Which faction would you choose? Or would you be divergent? I certainly recommend this book to anyone who likes dystopian societies, anyone who enjoyed The Hunger Games, or anyone looking for a quick & easy escape read. Divergent is slotted to become a trilogy with the second book coming out next year. Film rights have already been sold as well, so be on the lookout for Edward Cullen's replacement: Four. They better cast him better than they did Edward (-;

Next up: Sarah's Key. We've had multiple recommendations for this one, so I have pretty high expectations. Gerald & Lea will both be out of town next week, so there's no meeting for 2 weeks. We're planning to read the entire book by that time.

A little late, our next meeting will take place in a Dauntless location (that's a Divergent reference): Bw3's. 5pm, 2 weeks from now. Be dauntless! Be there!

Happy reading of Sarah's Key!
