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 
read from 4/23/14 to 5/14/14
Date when I checked out the book: 4/23/14
Length of book 487 pages
About the author: Veronica Roth is an American novelist and short story writer known for her debut New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy, consisting of Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant

Book review of Wool

Wool - Part One by Hugh Howey

Book price free
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was a boring short Dystopian story. It's about this cop who was wearing a Oxygen suit, as he goes to a place without Oxygen. It breaks, and he dies. The story itself was somewhat confusing, and didn't flow that well for me.   
I would recommend the book to people that like short, confusing Dystopian stories 
read from 3/23-24/14
Date when  I got the book : 2/4/13
Length of book :49 pages

Where book can be found - Amazon
About the author : Hugh Howey is the author of the award-winning Molly Fyde Saga and the New York Times and USA Today bestselling WOOL series. The WOOL OMNIBUS won Kindle Book Review's 2012 Indie Book of the Year Award -- it has been as high as #1 in the Kindle store -- and 17 countries have picked up the work for translation. Look for WOOL in hardback in 2013 from Random House UK and keep your fingers crossed that Ridley Scott and Steve Zaillian will do something exciting with the film rights!
Hugh lives in Jupiter, FL with his wife Amber and their dog Bella. When he isn't writing, he's reading or taking a photograph.

Book Review of The 13th Prophet

The 13th Prophet by T. Lucas Earle
Book price $0.99 
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was a mildly funny book about a clothing crisis. This is all because in this dystopian society, they determine your personally. I would have liked it better if there wasn't any foul language. 
I would recommend the book to people who like dystopian books

Book Review of Monkey Talk by T. Lucas Earle

About the author: 
T. Lucas Earle is a writer, filmmaker, and amateur statistician  He lives in LA, a comfortable 60 meters above sea level, where only three out of every 100,000 people are murdered. 
T. Lucas has a degree from Emerson College, which makes for a terrific placemat. He spends his days reading terrible scripts - a job for which he receives  nominal remuneration. Like many slightly brain-damaged children of hypoxic former left-wing political cult members of the 1970s , he will review almost anything. I once caught him writing a review for a Hamilton Beach toaster oven  instruction manual.
When T. Lucas is not reading and groaning quietly to himself, he writes and groans much louder.  He has written several short stories, a screenplay or two, and is working up the courage to write a note to the fetching young lady who works at the Starbucks on Glendale Ave. He's been published in Electric Spec, The Colored Lens, and on Amazon, where you can find his short stories. 

T. Lucas also writes numerous blogs filled with hidden SOS messages, in the hopes that one day someone will find him and rescue him from the Internet.
