Puh, in diesem Monat fiel mir die Wahl für das Buch des Monats nicht gerade leicht. Zu viele tolle Bücher standen zur Auswahl. Unter anderem Göttlich verdammt/Starcrossed von Josephine Angelini, das ich noch in diesem Monat lesen möchte, oder Höllenglanz von Kelley Armstrong, der Abschluss der Reihe "Die dunklen Mächte".
Letztendlich habe ich mich aber für dieses Buch hier entschieden, da ich wirklich ausnahmslos nur gute Rezensionen dazu gelesen habe und die junge Autorin mir sehr sympathisch vorkommt. Selbst der wunderbare Derek Landy, Autor von Skulduggery Pleasant und laut sich selbst eher pingelig, wenn es um andere Bücher geht, hat auf seinem Blog von dem Buch geschwärmt und es empfohlen. Spästens da war meine Wahl dann getroffen.
Inhalt:
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series—dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
