Had to Drop It

[katikat]

I picked up "Divergent" by Veronica Roth. But from the get-go, something about the book rubbed me wrong. It was not the dystopian future - I read "The Maze Runner" trilogy by James Dashner before this one and enjoyed it very much - but something else. Maybe the factions, the way people followed the whole set-up like sheep? Or Tris' "special snowflake" syndrome? The author's style?I don't know. In any case, it made me feel highly uncomfortable, it felt so creepy, even though I couldn't put my finger on why, that I had to drop the book five or so chapters in. And then I read spoilers for how the trilogy ends and... uh, I'm glad I did. Eh.

Instead I chose "Ring for Jeeves" by P.G. Wodehouse. And I'm much, much happier now.
