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.

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.
