If you have read The Hunger Games trilogy and are wondering 'what can I read now that will be as good?', try 'DIVERGENT', which is the first in a trilogy, written by Veronica Roth. The second book 'Insurgent', will be available in New Zealand in May.

In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.
I was thinking exactly that Mrs Lynskey! I am currently enjoying the third book of the Hunger Games and have been trying not to read it too quickly, saving it like a box of precious chocolates. Not any more! Divergent here I come!
