Leviathan

It is the cusp of World War I, and all the European powers are arming up. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ fabricated animals as their weaponry. TheirLeviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.

Aleksandar Ferdinand, prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battle-torn Stormwalker and a loyal crew of men.

Deryn Sharp is a commoner, a girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She's a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered.

With the Great War brewing, Alek's and Deryn's paths cross in the most unexpected way...taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure - one that will change both their lives forever.

Dun dun dun...

Carrie

This book is by Stephen King it is about a young girl named Carrie who doesn't make friends eaisily. After being humiliated and taunted at school one of them takes pity on her and gets her boyfriend, Tommy Ross to ask her to the prom, but another girl who is banned from the prom never is letting go of wanting to humiliate Carrie in front of the whole school, but as it turns out Carrie has special powers and you don't want to get her mad.

This is a good book, if you like this sort of thing, but otherwise it's not great in my opinion, it is a pretty quick read and I would recomend it for some people.

Maze Runner

This book is about a kid who wakes up in an unsolvable maze and has no memory of how he got there. There are about 50 ish other kids with him. It is then about his adventures about getting out/ solve the maze which the other kids have been trying to solve for two years but have never solved. This is a really good book and if someone reading this has never read it you should. It's a one week book.

Insurgent pt. 2

This week I read the other half of Insurgent. This book is very good by the way and if anyone hasn't read it, you should!

After what happened in my other blog post, Tris teams up with Marcus to retrieve information that the Erudite stole. She is caught in the act and identified as a traitor, but somehow convinces Tobias to look at the information. He does and shares it with everyone, and they find out that they were put in the fence because outside the world was falling apart (because humans are bad) and that once Divergent are numerous they should come out and save the world! Dun Dun DUN! 

Now I kinda feel like a nerd.

Insurgent

This week I read half of Insurgent. It is, of course, about Tris, and Tobias who visit diffrent factions trying to escape Erudite.  But the Erudite use their simulation powers to their advantage and make it so that a Divergent must turn themself in or else those under the influence of the simulation will kill themselves. Tris goes behind Tobias's back and turns herself in, and is experimented on at Erudite to help them find a simulation that will work on Divergent. She eventually escapes by the help of peter. 

That is about where I am right now.
For those of you that don't know, this is the second book in the Divergent trilogy, it is very good and if you havn't read it yet you should.

Divergent

This week I read Divergent. Acctually not this week but over Spring break. I know.
"Oh my gosh Max, you haven't read Divergent until now!"
Yeah I acctually didn't hear about it until Allegiant came out.

But for those of you that for a very slim chance haven't read Divergent yet. It is a future distopian world with a girl named Beatrice. The world is split up into five diffrent factions. Amity, the peaceful. Abnegation, the selfless. Candor, the honest. Erudite, the intelligent, and Dauntless the brave. When people are 16 they take a aptidute test to place them into one of these factions. If you can't fir in, it is called Divergent, and that is very dangerous in this world, you might get killed. So, Beatrice hides in the Dauntless to not be caught as a Divergent.

I don't want to give everything away but if you haven't read this (which is probably none of you) you should. It is very well written and is a very good book.

This week I read half of Divergent. I know some people say they read it in 2 hours, but what can I tell you, I'm a slow reader. Before I start this is on my top three list for best books I have ever read, the other two are, half brother and Eragon.

Anyway for those of you that don't know (which is probably none of you) this book is about a girl named Beatrice. Her world is split up into five different factions and they take aptitude tests to figure out which they fit into. However, when she takes the test her results are "inconclusive" and she is Divergent. In her world this is bad and she can get killed for it. She has to pick one of the factions to hide in. She picks Dauntless the brave. She has lots of adventures and stuff. I don't want to give anything away if someone hasn't read it, and also there would be a lot to say if I wanted to.
