Natali Ab _ama_kama99c8 — I enjoyed reading this book, but not so much because it is a great novel but more because the ideas behind it are nice and out of respect for the author, who has written great non-fiction and done great work.

Rodrigo Gaona rodrigogaona — I just thought it was kind of creepy and I would not read this book to a small child. The illustrations were nice and the prose clever but I guess the snakes just creeped me out. There were so many. You feel a faint restriction Of serpentine constriction In moments you can barely breathe or cough You face a scary issue Is the boa going to squish you? It's impossible to yank the serpent off Even though you're bony He clings like macaroni It feels like you're about to be deceased then he hisses in your ear, "I truly like you, dear, "And sssssssomeday (maybe) you will be releassssssed." Yeah, that's what I want to read to my little guy! Maybe I just don't care for snakes that much.

Angel Hyl ahylyl30bdb3 — I read this a long time ago, long enough ago that reading it again made it almost new for me. I have to say, it's not a keeper. But I also have to say, it was a good warning for us. I read about the enforced sex education of the children and thought about our public school system and how detailed that's getting to be- heck, even about past pediatricians who rather assume a child must be sexually active, and look upon them, their negative assertions, and their parents with professional disbelief; isn't teen sex nothing but a medical issue that must be addressed? The overload of fake sensory input in the book, the social norm of never being alone, the games and entertainment hysteria to prevent thoughts, the anti-reading, the social economic imperative that everyone must consume...some form or other of these exists today. The worst part is how often I encounter it from those who represent authority figures in our society. And then I consider how other authority figures have been sidelined- the elderly, for instance. Mothers and fathers. How about middle aged women(gasp!)? People who represent experience. The entire aspect of genetic and embryonic manipulation was almost too horrific for me. Someone, somewhere, is trying to do this now: genetic manipulation for gender, appearance, whatever. There's eliminating disease, but then there's 'improving' someone according to some worldly standard. Besides all my ranting, I also felt badly for John the Savage in the book. What a mess his life was. He was the closest to finding truth, and yet some times, so very far from it. Well, time for something else to read, something that constructs and doesn't just deconstruct. Feeling a bit depressed here. Farenheit 451 didn't do this to me a couple weeks ago. Sometimes it's just a matter of timing. >SPOILER< Sometimes it's the difference between a main character going and hanging himself in the last pages as in Brave New World, and another main character finding others who have fled Babylon, but also intend to help her when she falls to war, as in Farenheit 451. That may be the biggest complaint I have about BNW: deconstruction as its own end. Still, I hope folks read it and learn to recognize the early steps we've taken towards such a world. It's not being American that is shameful, it's having known better and then turned away from that. I've come back to add one more note: my copy of the book (from the 60s?) had an incredible foreword in it. I started with that and had to stop after I finished, it was that good. I didn't start the actual book until the next day. But the fiction was underwhelming after that foreword. I never found forewords that compelling, but I will be paying more attention to them in the future. This one addressed issues as a writer, the nature of story telling, politics, morals, totalitarianism, mass media, lowest common denominator culture, and so much more. Here are a couple quotes: "Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean" "Today I feel no wish to demonstrate that sanity is impossible" "A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude" "Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth" The book goes on to illustrate each of these pretty well.

Amir Veld aveldc78c — Review from www.bookflame.blogspot.com Divergent was breathtakingly amazing. It was downright perfection in my opinion. I don't even know what else to say, it was just that good. If your like me and have let it sit on your bookshelf month after month afraid to pick it up because you are afraid it wont live up to the hype...pick it up now and read it. I regret taking so long to read Divergent. Five stars doesn't even do it any justice. Okay let me stop gushing over it and get on with the review. Sixteen year old Beatrice Prior lives in a time where society is divided into five factions. Abnegation-the selfless, Candor-the honest, Dauntless-the brave,Erudite-the intelligent, and Amity-the peaceful. Then there is another group of people, one that if your are found out by others what you are will get you killed - Divergent. I finished Veronica Roth's debut novel in a matter of hours. If you want an intense and compelling read Divergent is it. There was betrayal, corruption, and not to mention romance that developed realistically between Four (Tobias) and Tris (Beatrice). The world building and plot was immaculately done. Then there were the plot twists that had me to the point where I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. And of course the fact that even all the secondary characters were all very well fleshed out which helped me fall in love with Divergent that much more. Overall this was a fascinating read and I looking forward to picking up Insurgent when it releases.

Celia Jensen cfjensen322290 — I really liked this book. I found it romantic and sweet. I also thought the sex was pretty good.

Sayuri Takamura laari_sayu0207 — 4.5 estrellas ¿Que puedo decir? ¡AMO TODO LO QUE ESCRIBE LISA KLEYPAS! Ángel o Demonio engancha de principio a fin. Aunque algunas cosas fueron predecibles lo disfrute mucho, muchoooo. Sin duda alguna seguiré devorando esta serie.
