Insurgent

I would recommend this book to teens ages fourteen and up.

This book left off where Divergent ended.  Four and Tris go to the amity headquarters trying find a safe  place to go after the war.  They soon realize that they do not fit in there, and decide to go to the Candor headquarters, where they are kidnapped and questioned.  That is where Tris discovered that the divergents are being controlled, and if the people do not turn in a divergent everyday, she kills three people.  Tris decides to go and visit her brother Caleb in Erudite, but he turns on her, and turns her in.  How is Tris supposed to escape now?

I really enjoyed this book, but I did like Divergent more. I wasn't a huge fan of the setting in this book, I thought that it was a little awkward. Other than that I really loved this book, and would recommend it, especially if you loved the first one.

My favorite character is Christina, Tris' best friend.


The bad language was minor, and the violence was medium/heavy.  The romance was heavy, and that is why I will not be reading the third book.

Legend

I would recommend this book for ages twelve and up.


This book is about a girl named June and a boy named day.  June is a military prodigy, born in one of the wealthiest sections of the city.  Day is the country's most wanted criminal, who lives in the poorest sections of the city.  When Metias June's brother is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect, June decides that she is going to find Day and kill him.  When June finally finds Day, and is about to get her revenge, Day proves to her that he did not kill her brother.  Now June is desperate to find who her brother's killer really is, and Day wants to help.  As they begin to uncover the mystery the realize that they have gotten themselves into a lot of trouble, and have to find a way to escape before they end up dead too.


I absolutly loved this book! It was so good.


My favorite character was either Day or Metias. They where both really sweet, and always willing to help June.


This book had minor bad language, and minor romance. This book also had heavy violence.

The Raven Boys

I would recommend this book for ages thirteen and up.

This book is about a girl named Blue.  Everyone in Blue's family are psychics, except for Blue.  Instead, Blue is like a "battery" to her family. Whenever Blue is around, they can see further into the future.  Then Blue meets a boy named Gansey, who comes in wanting to know his future.  She goes and visits him after he leaves, and finds out that he is looking for a lost king.  Gansey tells Blue that there is a king that was buried alive, but that he did not die. This king was buried on an energy line, and whoever finds this king gets one wish.  Gansey and all of his friends, (Noah, Adam, and Ronan) are determined to find this king, and with the psychics daughter to help them, they think that they have a pretty good chance. Then they find out that they are not the only ones looking for the lost king.  There is someone else out there who is just as determined as they are.

I absolutely loved this book.  It was so goo, and I would recommend it for sure.

I have a lot of favorite characters in this book, they were all so funny, but my favorite was probably Adam.

This book had minor violence, and minor romance.  Even though Adam and Blue are dating, there is  nothing inappropriate, (They don't even kiss.)  The only real problem with this book was the cursing. There was a major amount of curse words.  Also parents should know that this book does include things involving psychics and ghosts. There are things like palm readings and tarot cards.
