Divergent

1/13/16

So my books aren't in at that library yet. Kind of sad really, but what do you expect with a state that can't decide if it wants to rain or snow. Anyways, I decided to read a book that pretty much everyone has read, expect me. I know that there is like three movies out on the series and here I am never have read the books. I've seen the movies, which honestly is a big mistake. Because the book gets boring after seeing the movie first. Sometimes seeing the movie just ruins the thrill of the book. Anyways, I figured I'd read this book while I wait for my books to come in. I do have another library book in my back pack, but I can't read it because its a follow up series to another series that I just started. So to keep me from being confused on that book, I figured I'd just return it until the other series is done. Anyways, I don't have high expectations for this book that I'm now reading. Only because I saw the movie first. I bought the book thinking that I had time to read it before seeing the movie, but that never happened. I honestly have too many books that I have to read that it is extremely sad. It borderlines tragic. And yet I still buy more books. But I'm going to go read now. So until next time.......

 I am about halfway through Divergent and I still haven't made the much needed trip to the library. I should really get on that. Anyways, I am spotting a lot of differences in the book from the movie so far. And I honestly thought the book wasn't going to be all that good after watching the movie first. I have been wrong before, so it is not a surprise that I'm wrong this time once again. Anyways, the book starts like how it does in the movie. But after that it gets different. If I remember correctly, there was no walking around a school, or taking a bus. I don't even think our leading lady faces a factionless on the way home after taking her test. Even the character Eric is different from the movie. Honestly the book just makes me hate the guy more. Anyways there a lot of differences between the two. And honestly I wish that Hollywood would get these movies as close to the book as possible. I us bookworms would really pay top dollar to see the entire book played out in real life with every detail that the book had. I only say this, because I know I would. Anyways, I'm at the part where they are at stage two for initiation. And might I add that even that is different? Shocking. So far the book is pretty good. Really wish the movie was just like it, but I guess we can't have things go our way. But I'm going to head out right now. I have things to do in order to be able to get the rights to buy another CD or book. We have a jar where I get to pick out a prize after accomplishing something big. Like cleaning my baby sister's room. That kid is a hoarder in the making, believe it or not. So until next time.......

 Okay, about after halfway through the book it is nothing like the movie. Or, should I say the movie is nothing like the book. Sure there were key points that were included in the movie, but its still completely different. Either way, both versions defiantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. Anyways, I'm almost done with the book. I only have a few pages left and I can't tell you how it ends because that would ruin the book. Also I'm pretty sure everyone has read the whole series by now. But finishing this book means that I can buy the second book when I get my fifty dollar budget for the bookstore. Anyways, I'm so happy that the movie didn't ruin the book for me. Unlike some that shall not be named. Only because they aren't important and I didn't actually read the whole entire book. But I strongly suggest you go read the book if you haven't already. Its not the best book I've ever read, but its pretty good. I'm more of a romance kind of person, but its nice to grab something that isn't in my usual genre or age group. So until next time.....
