I love that...Jess, so glad we are on the same page! I love that you reread The Giver each year. I have to confess to not being such a big fan of it; the ending left me feeling bereft. However, it is beautiful in its own way. I think we're all obsessed with Divergent now. Let's see if VRoth can keep it up, I think she can :)<br /><br />Kim, Aww thanks! My series is no Divergent, but I hope it'll find its own special place in your heart once it's out :)Charity Tinninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018622301923641762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714336162107347073.post-52762241751642732452012-09-01T13:09:10.919-04:002012-09-01T13:09:10.919-04:00Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Everyone, in their own way, is searching for hope. Dystopians always offer some form of hope, and not only that, they tell us that we--the people who feel unspecial and insignificant--can be a part of the change. We have power when we go against evil. That's a wonderful message and almost all dystopians have that as the main theme.<br /><br />Now, as to favorites...you left out the best one: The Giver! I still read it once a year. And I'm head over heels in love with Divergent right now, but I'll let you know in 2013 once I've read the third one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
