Reading Response: Legend

              The book I am currently reading is Legend by Marie Lu. An intoxicating story of a boy named Day, who is wanted by the Republic, and a girl named June, who is a child prodigy who's mission is to find Day for the Republic. The book consist of family, a plague, a corrupt government, and a secret love. This book is well written along the lines of plot and keeping the reader interested. It's what my mom would call 'brain candy', because not to difficult to read and it is non-stop action or suspension.
              This near future book is sort of similar to Divergent by Veronica Roth. The main characters are an anomaly in their society and wanted by the government. They have the same qualities that make them such good books that once you start reading its hard to stop. I'm finding myself enjoying Legend more that Divergent though, because of the way the characters were developed and brought together. Anyone who enjoyed reading Divergent should probably consider reading Legend.

  1. I also read both books and I particularly like how they compare the two main characters too, but Legend is another one of those Hunger Games books when it comes to the setting. So, in that case all three of the books, Hunger Games, Divergent, and Legend are really worthwhile books to read.
