New book

Over the past few months, I have been hearing a lot about a new book, called Divergent written by Veronica Roth. Also, since the official movie has been released, there has been even more talk of it going around. It seems like it is a really popular book. I've been invited to go see the movie, but I think that I'm going to read the book before I watch the movie. I really like to compare the two, see how well the movie follows the book and so that I can understand what the purpose of the movie is, and also so that I can know what elements that the movie missed that is in the book.

It seems that movie producers now days are a lot more concerned about making movies look good visually, even if the movies don't reflect the book as the author intended. Like in the movie Lightning Thief, which was based off of the book The Lightning Thief, the movie didn't follow the book at all! The movie contained very few original elements that were in the book. So before I watch a movie, I like to read the book first so that I can have a better understanding of the real meaning. So I started reading Divergent, and it starts out very well, and it interests me. I think that I am really going to like reading this book, and I hope to continue the series.
