Insurgent Movie Trailer Talk

If you haven't yet heard, The freakin' Insurgent trailer was released yesterday!!!

Now for those who don't know, I am a major fan of the Divergent series by Veronica Roth so its pretty damn exciting to see the movie come to life!

If you have not read this trilogy yet, I highly suggest to go read it NOW. You will not be disappointed. 

View the trailer for yourself, here it is...

Doesn't this this trailer make you super pumped for the movie release next year? Because I sure am!

If you have read Insurgent- Is it just me or were you super confused too?

I found that heaps of the stuff in the trailer were not in the book, but I could be wrong.

I am sure that I don't remember Jeanine trying to make Tris fight another version of herself, please tell me in the comments if I am wrong.

I have actually heard many mixed reviews about this trailer. Apparently some people are shocked about the difference between the movie and the book.

In my opinion, I loved the trailer. I found it super intense and breathtaking. But the trailer never tells the full story, I cannot yet tell if i'm going to like this movie or not.

Can I please just talk about Tris's hair in this movie. I don't know if i'm the only one, but this version of Tris keeps reminding me of Hazel from The Fault in Our Stars. Don't get me wrong, I think Shailene Woodley looks absolutely gorgeous but the short hair always makes me think of Hazel.

Overall this trailer makes me extremely excited for this movie, being released next year on March 20th. 

Again, If you have not read the Divergent trilogy yet, you should definitely put this series at the top of your TBR list! :P

Happy reading everyone and Merry Christmas,

Chelsea xoxo

Ever since I read Anna and Lola, I have been itching to read this book! These books are by far my favorite contemporary books.

Cinder was a huge 5/5 stars for me! I had to pick up the next book in the series ASAP!
Si-Fi is definitely one of my fav genres!

Woah- I have been wanting to read this book for sooooo long! I love any books to do with Aliens so this is perfect!
This edition is a bind up of the first 2 books in the series and I can't wait to read it! :p


5&6. These Broken stars and This Shattered World

Mockingjay Pt 1 Movie Discussion

Yep, You know what time it is. Time to talk about MOCKINGJAY PART 1! 

If you have not read the Hunger Games trilogy- What are you still doing here, go read it right NOW.

Well anyway, Mockingjay (the 3rd and final book) has been split into 2 movies and Mockingjay pt 1 has just been released in cinemas, and if you have not seen it yet, I recommend you to go see it ASAP.

If you have not seen the trailer yet- Here it is..

Now if you have not read the books or watched the movie, this review may be a little spoilery - so just beware.

First off, Mockingjay was my least favorite book in the trilogy. I found it very hard to get into and it was not nearly as good as the Hunger Games and Catching fire.

But I regret to say that Mockingjay the movie was better than the book.. I know it sounds really bad, but it's the harsh truth.

Ok, now onto the movie. The acting is spot on! Jennifer Lawrence did such an amazing job playing Katniss and I wouldn't want to choose any other actor! 

We also get to see much more of Gale in this film, unlike in the Hunger Games and Catching fire; where he was hardly in the films at all! Liam Hemsworth proves to be perfect for the role of Gale and I am very happy with his casting! He's also a bit of eye candy ;)

Overall I am extremely happy with the acting and castings.

This movie has to be the funniest of them all, I mean every movie has to have a bit of humor put in with the seriousness, and the humor in this was spot on! There are many laughs in this movie to even out the intense moments!

This movie definitely had moments where I was at the edge of my seat, there were many very intense scenes that had my heart racing. Like when Gale and the others went to rescue Peeta, Johanna and Annie- oooh that was soooo intense, even though I have already read the book and I knew what was going to happen!

Oooh and we can't forget Peeta. Peeta was hardly in this film at all and it makes me really sad. Peeta is one of my all time favorite characters in the Hunger Games trilogy and it was hard to not see him much at all.

Woah I am talking way way to much right now. This movie is sooooo AMAZING and I would rate it a 5/5 stars. You guys should definitely go see it if you haven't already!
And also if you have not yet read the books- go to the right away PLEASE :P

Happy reading everyone!

The Infinite Sea - Book Review

Author: Rick Yancey

Edition: Putnam Juvenile Hardback

Released: September 16 2014

Series: The 5th Wave #2

Pages: 300 approx.
Links: Goodreads | Author's website | Buy the book!

How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.

Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate. 

Exams are finally over Wahooo!!! Before I couldn't post as often as I wanted to, but I'm back so yay :P

First off, This book is ONLY 300 PAGES. I don't know why this came as a shock to me, I was so sad because I want more... The 5th Wave was 457 pages so there's quite a difference between them.

There's not much I can say about this book without spoiling Y'all, so this review will be very brief and small. 

So if you read my 5th Wave review, you would know that I LOVE that book. I gave The 5th Wave a 5/5 stars. 

For the Infinite sea, I couldn't get into it as much, It took me a good week and a half to read this book - unlike the 5th Wave which I read in 3 days.

In my opinion; the action only starts after the 1st half of the book. I found the start quite boring and dull, not much happened.

So apart from the crappy starting, the end was super intense and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! :P

I gave this book a 4/5 stars.

Sorry for the really short review but I definitely recommend this series to any Young Adult fans!! 

Happy Reading Everyone!
Chelsea :P
