Flawless (Sara Shepard)

After the discovery of the body whom everyone though was the mysterious "A", the four girls are still getting letters, text messages & e-mails from "A". Which means who they all though was "A" cannot be. 

Now, "A" is writing mean messages that could complicate all the girls social lives. Spencer's sister probably will never talk to her again if "A" tells Spencer's secret to her. Emily will probably get made fun of. Hanna's father will never talk to her again. Aria's family will be destroyed if her secret gets out.

Nobody knows any of there secrets, so nobody has any idea who "A" could be. So the only possibilities are stalkers, or each other. They girls will do anything to protect there secrets, because if they don't, none of them would be Flawless.

So this series is one of those series': where the author attempts to make the books better by not revealing all the information. The kind of book that just irritates you because the characters would think about a small, but important, piece of information.

Like the first book, characterization was the main literacy devise. But in reality, nobody would have that much drama going on in their life; nobody has boy trouble, personal trouble and stalker trouble all at the same time. The author should have picked one, maybe two, major drama's because you can't follow all of the characters life's when there's that much going on.

The suspense in this book worked way better then it did in the first one and this book had a climax! They were not strong, but at least they were both there. 

I think the best part of this series is how many people die. It adds a lot to the plot and create's suspense because it's not obvious if the person is going to live or die. But at the same time, normal teenagers don't have so much death surrounding them.

Pretty Little Liars (Sara Shepard)

Ali, Spencer, Hanna, Emily and Aria are the popularist girls at school. Their lives are picture perfect. But they have a secret. A big secret.

During the summer leading into the eighth grade, Ali goes missing without a trace. After she goes missing, the other four girls drift apart so much that they don't even wave to each other in the hallways.

Now, Spencer is a floor hockey superstar, Hanna is bulimic, Emily is trying for a diving scholarship and Aria moved to Iceland, but has recently returned to her old town. Their lives are completely different.

But now they are all getting creepy texts or emails from someone who goes by "A". The question is; who is A?

But that’s not the worst part of any of their lives. Spencer likes her sister’s boyfriend. Hanna's boyfriend won't lose the big V, Emily is wondering if she likes her best friend in more ways than just friends and Aria loves an older guy.

Their problems are all big problems, in their mind. But they can't let it get in the way of their secret, because they are all pretty little liars.

This book was kind of dumb. But it’s really addicting. And before I knew it, I got sucked into it and I could not stop reading.

Characterization was key in this novel. It was very well done and that’s what got me into it. The characters were all completely different, but at the same time, they were all popular snobs and they all did bad things like drinking and marijuana.

The only thing close to plot in this whole book was conflict, and there was plenty of that. The only built up this book had was for the individual characters, which would have been fine if there was a climax. But for each character there was not really a climax, only one small thing that made me gasp.

You would never suspect a novel about plastic girls to be about something so dark. The dark part of the book- the mystery part- was really, really good. The only thing missing was a climax, which is very, very important.

Even though this book was kind of dumb. But the dark parts made it very good.

The Catastrophic History Of You And Me (Jess Rothenberg)

Brie is a normal, soon- to -be sixteen year old. She has 3 best friends, a boyfriend she loves, a little brother and parents who are still together. She has everything anyone would possible want.

But now, she is dead. Dead from a broken heart. All because her boyfriend, Jacob said "I don't love you anymore" and maybe because she has a heart problem. But according to her, it was because of Jacob.

Being dead sucks in so many ways. First, she has to read the D&G (dead and gone), a book about afterlife. Second, she has to grieve though her own death and go though denial, anger, bargaining, sadness and acceptance. Third, Patrick, another dead kid, is showing her about the afterlife. But he won't tell her anything all at once.

Things have to get worst before they better. But maybe it will all be worth it in the end.

.................................................................................................................

This book was so funny, sad and depressing all at the time.

The main focus in this book was characterisation, which worked well, given each stage of death was boned to change Brie.

Like many romance books, the ending was incredibly predictable. But it was about Brie, not about the ending of the novel. It was about watching her change and grow up.

The emotional setting in this book was really good. You could feel what she was feeling, even though hardly any emotion was written about.

The author also used symbolism really well, which is strange because usual authors don't use it at all, but this book needed it, for the plot to make sense.

The plot was good. But there was no suspense or surprises, except for very minor ones. The only things that held up the plot was the characters and a little symbolism. It worked really well, even though the plot was not driven at all by suspense.

Conflict was weird in this book because it changed so much. Brie was always battling someone or herself differently because of the emotional setting.

I really liked this book. The only thing that could have been done better is the plot.

Insurgent (Veronica Roth)

The war between Dauntless (the brave people) and the Erudite (the smart people) is in full swing and it is not stopping anytime soon.

All the other factions are being forced to choose sides. Which seems to separate factions. So now the numbers are almost tied.

But people are like onions; everyone as layers and layers of secrets, and ones you un peal all the layers is when you learn who someone is and who they are aliened to.

Divergent means that someone got two ore more test results when they took the faction test. Their brains work different then other people's brains, so they can't be put into 'test' that test ones bravery or how trusting one is.

The only things that the Erudite cannot solve is how to sedate the Divergent; which is making them even angrier.

And making them angry will probably not resolute in a peaceful way.

I can't believe I am going to have to wait a year and a half for the next one to come out.

The first half of the book was terrible because the setting was always changing and I could not keep track of any characters and the plot was changing, but not really effecting the characters. The plot was moving, but it was just words and no emotion because the protagonist was going though death. I get that it was sad for her, and that developed her character. But a the same time, come on! Their is war going on and your sad about a few people dying? their will be more death if you don't get moving again

But then at chapter 22 it got really, really good.

The plot picked up, the characters got their crap together and then I could not put the book down. My eyes are just being able to focus again 'cause I could not stop.

The ending was so shocking, yet predictable. Everything was adding up to a happily ever after, and then, BAM!!! Everything suddenly changes, your heartbeat picks up, and then you turn the next page, and its the acknowledgement....Then you go to google to order the next book, and you learn you have to wait a year and a half  for the next one.

I'm really, really mad.

But the second half of the book was fantastic. But the first half was crap. I wish it was the opposite so I won't have wait for a year for an exciting book.
