I'm almost halfway through the Divergent by Veronica Roth. I've been on the waiting list at the library for a while and my turn finally came up this week. (I honestly don't even remember when I requested it.)
But I have a feeling I'm going to be anxious for book No. 2 soon. I'm currently the 72nd person in line...so if anyone has a copy of Insurgent I can borrow. Let me know!
Have you read the series? What do you think?
For those who haven't heard of the book, people have related it to the Hunger Games. Everything is still unfolding for me, but essentially the world is made up of 5 factions, each with different characteristics. When people turn 16 they take an aptitude test which determines which faction they are most suited for. Depending on the results, they may never see their families again and leave the worlds they've always known to become a part of society in a different faction. Obviously there are few conflicts within the society and that's kinda where I am in the story right now.
Summit has purchased the rights to the story and a screen play is currently in the works. The original 2015 release date has been fast tracked so we'll see.

I am getting close to my turn so the second book. Maybe you can come visit when I get it and read it then. I will finish it in a day or two I am sure. I expect it in the next 6 weeks.
Yea I ended up reading all except a few chapters last night in bed. And then read all but the last one on my lunch break. It's hard to stop!
I actually found a pdf version of the book that I downloaded. I don't have much patience so I will just be reading that on my phone.
