Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

- James Baldwin

English Books: "Insurgent"

Hey there, guys! What's up?

I've been reading. Quite a lot, to tell you the truth :)

Okay, so here's my review on "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth.
This saga is pretty amazing, but I think I liked the first book best.
In this sequel, Tris and Tobias have to fly away from Erudite. They encounter the Factionless and also ally with the few Abnegation people who were left after Erudite's attack.
Tris has lost her family, except for Caleb.
They go searching for help to Amity, but will they give it to them?
In the meantime, will Tobias/Four be able to cope with his abusive father?
What's outside the fence... If it's so very important to keep it outside from Chicago?

And more importantly... Against whom is the war to be fought? The Factionless, Erudite, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, Candor, family or... yourself?


Nice book, you should read it :)

English books: "Divergent"

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!

I leave you its data:
