I'm at a loss for words and I really need to write something so i can move on to the 2nd book.
So I read this in two days. Would have been One if I hadn't had to get some sleep to go to work the next day - So that shows what a gripping book it was. It's quite easy to read and flows really fast. I know it's been compared to the Hunger Games a lot, but i don't think that comparison does it justice. So even if you weren't keen on the hunger games don't knock this one back as just another dystopian YA. We get a strong female lead, Friendship, Love, evil bad guys to hate on and standing up for whats right.
Ok I'm off to quickly get the house work done so i can read the next one, Insurgent.
