I am going
to start reading a new book called Divergent by Veronica Roth. This
novel recently intrigued me when I attended the movie “Divergent”. I found the
storyline as well as the main character , “Tris", and her struggles in the separated society. Unfortunately I saw the movie before laying my hands on the
book and so I already know what happens in the end. But I am still very excited
to read the book and continue on through the series.
I was
searching online for facts about the author, Veronica Ross, and came across
this website: http://bestsellers.about.com/od/authorprofilesaz/p/Veronica-Roth-Bio.htm.
You should be able to find everything you want to know about her there. I am
going to share some of the things that I found most interesting. She attended Carleton
College in Minnesota for one year but then quickly switched over to Northwestern
University, in Chicago and obtained a degree in creative writing. She then went
on to publish a best seller (Divergent) at the age of 22. She is a Christian
and sometimes writes about her beliefs on her personal blog. She often
encourages aspiring writers and gives advice. She struggles with anxiety and
has no problem getting help.
She became
a known author at a very young age and even had one of her books made into a
movie. It is easy to tell why she has made it so far in her career just based
on the movie. I can’t wait to obtain the book and dive in. I will be posting
weekly, updating things that I find cool, important, or educational.
