The book I will be reading and blogging about this trimester is called "Divergent" by Veronica Roth. Some information about the author Veronica Roth is that she is 22 years old and a graduate of Northwestern University. Roth graduated with a degree in creative writing. While she was a student there, she chose to work on the story that would soon become "Divergent", instead of doing her homework. In my opinion, that was a very smart move by Roth because now she is very well known author because of the success the Divergent series has had.
Roth is now a full time writer and lives near Chicago which is a coincidence because the book takes place in Chicago. "Divergent" is Roth's first novel and surely not the last, as she has 2 sequals to the book already and a movie that came out on March 21, 2014. Veronica Roth is an amazing author and as I have started reading the book I can see that she really spent time writing and imagining the world that the book takes place in.

Thank you for this wonderful short biography of the author. It really helped me to understand where the Divergent series origin comes from. I don't think it was a coincidence that the book takes place in Chicago. I believe that Veronica made it take place in Chicago because that's where she lives.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment Alec, I will make sure to check your blog and compare your posts with mine because we are reading the same book.
DeleteWhoa... I did not know she was only 22. That's pretty neat. I always pictured her as an older lady because I thought of J.K. Rowling for some reason.
