Book review of divergent

Divergent by veronica roth

4 Stars out of 5 Stars
This is one well worded book. the small details are very alive in this book. It's  about a girl who lives in a dystopian society that changes factions. The term "faction before blood" is taken very seriously as she must choose to do what her new faction is doing, or save her family members despite risking becoming factionless, which is worse then death. Beatrice falls in love in love with one of her mentors. To be Divergent is considered bad because it means that you know too much as knowledge is power. She must face her fears        
I would recommend the book to people who like dystopian societies, romance and or action

Date when I checked out the book: 4/23/14
Length of book 487 pages

Book review of Life of Pi

Life of pi by yann martel

4 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was one interesting read. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. I've always wanted to read this book after I saw the Movie. It has a lot more detail than the movie, and was from 1st person view instead of  3rd person view. It's about an Indian boy that's stranded in the pacific ocean with a tiger from his family's zoo.  
I would recommend the book to people who like books about people that get stranded at sea.
