Legend by Marie Lu

I just finished Lola and the Boy Next Door and it was a wonderful book. I am starting Legend which Meghan suggested me to read. She also recommended this book because aunt helped publish the book she was an editor. This is the amazon customer review:

By Specibrarian on December 3, 2011
Format: Hardcover
I, too, read this in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Fast, twisty, focused. I also just read Eve by Anna Carey and while the Eve and June have a similar starting point (elite education in a dystopian future post-plague western US with girl who starts to see through the veneer of the ruling class), Marie Lu's June is written as a more active and empowered girl while Carey's Eve is very inexperienced, even though she can take action. Both are worth a read, but Legend's pacing just rocks and Day really leaps off the page. Lu is not afraid to let her characters get beat up (er, really beat up) and take some wild crazy risks.

Lola and the Boy Next Door 10/6

The book Lola and the Boy Next Door I would rate at 4.5/ 5 stars. The book is fabulously written, with great language and description. I love the plot line and how you can't relate to it and relate to it in the story. Lola has a crazy birth mom, a boyfriend her dads don't approve of and her ex-crush moved back in next door. The only thing I don't like about the book is the slow start. If you are looking for a funny and crazy ride o hook on to and read try reading this book. Also this book is more of a girly book and boys probably won't enjoy it.
