Wow I am not a fan of series movig on afterward they are done. City of Glass was the end of the series, it was a perfect ending for those characters, and because the book is popular it moves gets more books. And because I like the series, I bought it. And it sat on my shelf for MONTHS until I bough the audio book, I had just finished Clockwork Prince and I was on a Ed Westwick and Cassandra Clare high, and I wanted City of Fallen Angels, So I bought it, again. And Don't get me wrong, Its a good book, I like it, and I need to have the hardcover copy for my shelf, but man, I wish I had just bought the audio in the first place, it was so much easier then making myself picking up a book.

But enough bitching, I am sorry, I really do like the book, I was just upset that there was another book.

This book takes place six weeks after the events in City of Glass, and by god, its intense, The plot is solid, and had enough twist to keep me guessing. I just don't like Simon, And he had the majority of the book. But I did like Kyle and he was in a lot of Simon parts.  I also love the Infernal Divines references in this book. And of course seeing Mangus and Alec together, it was just great. It was definally a book of Fans of Cassandra Clare, if you don't like her books, or if you don't like when authors write books just because people love there characters, I would not sugest this book to you.

Or if you dont like when couples are going through hard times, that have already been through hell!

Good book for those who love her other two trilogy.

Great Audiobook!

Divergent - Veronica Roth

Wow, I was a little shocked when I actually got into this book, I am not a fan of dystopian (I am starting to like them a little bit more), but Melissa Marr liked it and so did all of my friends so I thought I would give it a chance as well as my friend Amy @ A Simple love of Reading was going to a signing in T.O and asked me if I would like a signed copy. And I said yes, Then I got 100pages into the book and put it down. And Then I was watching a Reading Teen Video about the best audio books of 2011 and Andye said something about Divergent, So I went to Audiable and bought a copy, and I loved it.

Divergent isn't like any dystopian I have read, (and I have read a lot we studied them in english in grade 12) The whole city of Chicago has decided that  what is wrong with today's society is not race, gender, or religion, but the fact that peoples lifestyles clash, and in order to fix that, they must be dived, (much like segregation) and thus the people are divided into  five factions, Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent) and then the Fractionless those who failed to pass the initiation. 


And then there is the Divergent. Those are very rare, those who do not fit in to only ONE of those fraction, and these people are deadly, because they threaten the perfect society. 


Tris is a Divergent, and she is finding it hard to life with the fact. And I don't want to get too much into the plot, so just saying Tris is an awesome character, who is trying to fuiger out her place in this society. Its a beautifully woven story. 


Emma Galivn is a amazing reader who breathes life into this story. If you like Audio books you should check this one out. If you don't well check out the hard copy!

Perfect - Ellen Hopkins

Days have past since I Finished Perfect by Ellen Hopkins, and to be honest, I am still feeling pretty good about myself. There's something about Ellen Hopkins books for me at least that makes me feel better about myself, there is at least always something that relates to me.

With Perfect it was the fact that all these people were striving for the best, but not for themselves Cara wants to be the perfect daughter for her parents, but her struggling with her sexuality makes that hard for her to come to terms with. Sean, wants to be the perfect baseball player, and he will do whatever it takes to get there, Kendra, wants to be a model size 2, and if that means not eating well that's what she's going to do. Andre has talent and wants to use it, but he has to hide it from his parents.

This book is a Companion Novel to Impulse, and the two take place at the same time, and the two are pretty much seamlessly connected, It was really cool to see how Conner's (one of the Main Characters in Impulse) Effected those back at home, His sister, (Cara) his Ex-Girlfriend (Kendra) His team mates (Sean) and he even affected a totally stranger (Andre).

This book has something for everyone, because I am sure nobody think of themselves as perfect. I know the first time my mother called me fat, I remember what I was wearing, where I was standing, what I was looking at, and most of all how it made me feel. And We all have moments like that, where people our choices make or break us, I could of  agreed with her, and then stopped eating, or but I didn't. And I think its important for those of who may be struggling with things like eating disorders, drug abuse (to better enhance performance) or just all together coming to terms with who they are, should read this book. It is really eye opening.

The Characters are life like, and they are human, they have human reactions to things, and the description of the drug use has shocking motivation behind it.

After the letdown that was Tricks (Sorry I really disliked that book) I am glad to have another amazing Ellen Hopkins book!

If you've read Perfect, you might want to check out Ellen other books:
Crank Series (Crank, Glass, Fallout and Flirting with the Monster)

Impulse (Companion novel)
Identical (Jaw drooping effen amazing novel)
Tricks (good book, I just thought more could of been done with it)
