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.

Threatened

This book is about a buy named Luc. Luc's mother left and this man named Prof comes to town. When Luc tries to rob him,  Prof isn't mad, instead he offers Luc a job. Together, Luc and Prof head into the jungle, they have an adventure and have to escape some dangers. Soon, Luc becomes familiar with a new family, of chimps, and Luc must act when his new family is attacked.

I didn't want to give all of the book away, so I'll stop there. This is a very well written book, I like it especially because it's about chimps. But I think everyone might like it. I wouldn't set it as a priority though because it isn't my favorite thing in the world.

The Clockwork Three

This week I read the rest of the book called The Clockwork three. I don't really want to give all of it away but it is a very good book. It turns out that every one of them (there are three people: Hannah, Fredrick, and Giuseppe) hold the keys to the others success. In other words, Fredrick and Hannah helped Giuseppe get what he wanted, Fredrick and Giuseppe helped Hannah, and Hannah and Giuseppe helped Fredrick.

Anyway, this book is really well written, the ending is amazing and I think it has a very good story line to it. It isn't a slow read, I got through half of it in three days (it's like 350 pages) its one of those books that you can't put down and the time flies by when you are reading it.

the clockwork three

This book is about three people. One is named Giusueppe another is Hannah and the last is Fredrick.

Giusueppe is a musican that plays out on the streets. However, he has to give all of the money he makes to a man called Stephano. If you don't bring back enough he would punish you. Then, Giusueppe then finds a green violin. It makes a beautiful noise. He gets a lot of money from it. But he hides it to save up for a boat ticket out a there. He then, gets betrayed by one of his friends that he gives money to. His friend shows Stephano his stash. Then, he tries to run away at that moment. He escapes but he is on the run for his life.

Hannah is a maid at a hotel. Then, one day this strange person comes to the hotel. She wants Hannah to be her personal assistant for the rest of her stay. The people at the hotel are mean to her so she accepts. They go to an opera with Fredrick. Because they asked Fredrick to make an automaton for them. After that, her father gets very sick, and the doctor says they have to amputate or get a very expensive medicine. They decide to get the medicine. But they can't afford it so Hannah asks her "master" to loan the money to her. When she runs back to the hotel and finds her helping the people that she didn't like at the hotel to find some "treasure". Hannah got mad so she stole a necklace and told one of her friends to sell it. Her friend gives it back to the head manager of the hotel and Hannah gets fired.

Fredrick is an  apprentice clock master. He is secretly building a giant clockwork man because he wants to get into a hard clockwork business to get into when he's older. He steels a coal shute for the chest, and then he starts on the hardest part. The head. Then, one day Hannah comes with her "master", and she asks him to make an automaton for them. Then, one day, he goes to the person Hannah's following and asks her about it he also asks where Hannah is and she says she doesn't work here anymore. Then the strange guest has to leave for a mysterious reason and has to cancel the order.

I really like this book. I'm not done with it yet because it's a two week book, but I would defiantly give it a 5/5 stars.
