The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


All i'm thinking about right now is if i could pack a backpack put on my sneakers and take off, not for the same reasons as camryn, but we all need to take a pause sometimes, i believe in recklessness in life in seeking adventure and testing our limits, i'm an adventurous person by nature so this story was very tempting to me and make me wonder about how much adventure i'm willing to try, what are my limits...
It makes me question the way i'm spending my life, how do we live to answer other people expectations and ignore ours, accept the present as it is coz it's what we are supposed to do, It makes me wonder about a lot of things college, work, family, freedom, sacrifice, trust, friendship, love,...
I'm not going to talk about the characters or the story, i love cam & andrew as everybody of course but i'm more absorbed in the messages lying between the days of theire journey together, in the hope they give us, with them i learned to be myself never mind people, i learned to say what i feel and what i want without hesitation (that was already me but people keep saying that's the worst about me: i don't care anymore), i learned to let go and to get fresh starts, i learned to be careful, to see the good in people, to try, to never surrender, to keep dreaming, to love,...
I've read a lot of books but this is one of those books that marks your life and changes you, i'll always be greatful for reading this book And i hope the rest of cam & andrew's story will be as refreshing as theire beginning and that it will teach us more and more.

Allegiant by Veronica Roth
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I was desappointed, yes it was beneath my expectations and to tell the truth i don't like it, VR was just writing a third book and totaly ruin it and converge from the two first books,
i think the story should have ended with Tris and her friends getting out of chicago, but getting into details in that matter just ruin it for me and for all my friends who have read Allegiant.
And what about death serum!! And Tris having the ability to survive it!! VR make her into a kind of super hero and not just the girl who had preference for more than one faction, i think the main idea of the factions and Tris or Tobias or the other divergent having the strength to fight the serums and be aware during simulations was mind tricks to show us that people can be more than one thing that we have the ability to choose what we want to do and who we want to be, but seriously death serum it must be some kind of poison how could she survive it !!!!
I'd like to think that the story of Tris and her friends have ended when they left the fence they could have discovered a new world with new opportunities or a ruined one where they could have made a difference but not the end VR choosed to tell us, but still she is an amazing writter who should be valued for her good works, divergent will be always one of my "best books ever" and i'm looking forward to her new releases.
