It's been a while since I last posted in this section!
Dear God... A long while!
I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, but I've got to tell you about the book that's being labelled as "sold out" all around the world... "Divergent"!
By Veronica Roth, this book has managed to put me back on track again.
I've spent quite a while without reading much... Probably because the classics I had are way too slow... They're classics, you know. Very valuable, but hard to read.
"Divergent" is just what I needed. A very dynamic, fast and enthralling lecture!
Inspired in the future, Chicago, Beatrice Prior is sixteen and faces the Ceremony Day: the day in which she'll have to choose her faction.
Her society divides its members among five different factions: Abnegation, for the selfless; Amity, for the peaceful; Candor, for the honest; Dauntless, for the brave; and Erudite, for the intelligent.
Every year the sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test which shows them, thanks to a simulation, which faction they are best suited for.
They have a saying, "Faction before blood". You are born into one faction and, at sixteen, you can change to another. But that will -probably- be the end to the family you've known all along. And, certainly, to your actual life.
Beatrice has to face the fear of loosing her loved ones in favour of a change of faction (from Abnegation, in which she has grown up, to...? ;), but she'll also encounter the difficulty of Divergence. What on Earth is that? You'll soon find out. :D You MUST read the book!

Lo siento Miriam: No he entendido ni una palabra, pero supongo que seras la erudita de siempre y por eso Te Felicito. Me gusta estar contigo, porque a la vez que disfruto de tu compañia, aprendo. Adiooos mi rubita, paz
ResponderEliminarDe eso va precisamente el libro, Paz. Cinco facciones y una elección: Los Eruditos, los Osados, los Veraces, los Abnegados y los Cordiales.
EliminarCreo que nadie podría ser únicamente uno, ¿no?
Dices Erudita y es verdad. Pero también es verdad que me saldría "Divergente". Porque también está Osadía ;)
Esto de leer un libro es horrible, ¡mi mejor vicio ha vuelto! Ya era hora, por cierto.
¡Un beso!
