Lois Lowry is an amazing author. It’s not necessarily how she writes (style), it what she writes (theme). The mature subject matter and deep plot will cause you to think about Jonas’s experience for a long time… and that’s a good thing.
IF YOU LIKED… YOU SHOULD READ… Both series create futuristic, dystopian societies that the female protagonist must battle; furthermore, Tris battles lack of confidence, memories of Will, and Peter (literally).
Veronica Roth’s second adventure book of the Divergent trilogy, Insurgent, is just as jaw-dropping as the first. Tobias and Tris’s world is turned upside down because the hunt for the Divergent has begun, and now the factions are on the brink of war, possibly destroying the rest of the already crumbling city. Relationships are becoming tense due to no one knowing whether or not they will still be alive tomorrow, and death is being accepted as a daily thing. No one is safe anymore; it’s every man for himself. “One choice can either transform you, or it can destroy you.” If you liked the Hunger Games series, you’ll be bound to love the Divergent trilogy!
