Reflection: I loved this novel and I would recommend it to everybody because it is unique; the way the writer moved between the settings and events was smooth and interesting. It was the first novel where I had the chance to differentiate between Utopian and Dystopian societies. I had the chance to watch the movie as well; they are very similar: the movie was just a mirror image of the novel but reading it tackles the beautiful ability of letting go of one's imagination.
I honestly haven't read any of the books but I've watched all 3 movies. If the books are any good as the movies were then they are worth reading.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the movies and thought they were terrible! They really pushed me away from reading the books.
DeleteConcerning me, I haven't read nor watched any of these movies and now I am really excited to start reading and discover all about them. I believe that when reading a novel or a story, our imagination carries us way up high where we feel and see and even smell all the places and characters.
ReplyDeleteMovies help us to get near such places; however our imagination guarantees our entrance there.
i have seen the " Divergent" movie, it is amazing. it made me to know what is the meanings of fear, competition and secrets and how to believe that we can do anything we believe in.
