My Google Diary for Divergent

July 6, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Google Diaries, My Reading Diary 3 Comments

Divergent Google Diary

  When I read, I ask a LOT of questions.  Here’s some stuff I searched or wondered about while reading Divergent by . From my review: I really enjoyed the factions. The world is divided into these mini-societies that cultivate different virtues kind of like Hogwarts, but with a dystopian flare. It was very interesting and it made me ... Read More »

Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

July 3, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

I've been putting off reading Divergent for a while now because it seemed too similar to the Hunger Games. They do have some things in common like a girl fighting a dystopian government, but the worlds are so different that they didn't feel similar at all. Divergent felt similar to the Matrix more than anything. ... Read More »
