I enjoyed this one too! I recently read the Goldfinch and loved that one, although i found the ending slightly disappointing (don't worry, no spoilers there!). I have just read the first book of the Divergent trilogy and while it is a very easy read (probably more aimed towards teens haha) - I am loving it and started the second one this morning :)
ReplyDeleteAh yay - so glad you read it! I must admit, I was also a bit confused with the chopping and changing of characters - it took me a while to remember who was who. But I enjoyed it nevertheless! @Louise B - I've got Goldfinch on my wishlist! :)
ReplyDeleteOK I am glad I'm not the only confused one! I'm like 3/4 done with it and I'm still having a hard time keeping up! It's taken me a really long time to read b/c of that! I just can't get into a groove! Everyone says it's the best book EVER and I'm still waiting to feel that...
