Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth.

They are MUST reads. They are awesome.

I read Divergent in one day and due to work and other personal issues managed to read Insurgent in three days. Book three does not have an official release date.

They are addicting. It flows like water.

Both, and I am assuming the third as well, are in first person. As you read, you feel like you are the main character.

It's awesome. Trust me.

Another really interesting book that I read recently is called Room by Emma Donoghue. It is a REALLY tough read at times, because it is told through the eyes of a five year old boy who lives with his mother in Room, the eleven-by-eleven foot shed they are kept in by his mother's abductor. That said, it is a brilliant, brilliant book. I highly recommend it.

I thought that ending with (SPOILER) |bringing Ma and Jack back to Room for a visit and showing both how he was uncomfortable outside, AND how utterly foreign Room seems now that he's seen the big wide world| was absolutely perfect.
