I have two favorite books, but can't decide which one is better than the other. The first one was The Son of Neptune from the Heroes of Olympus series, my other one is Divergent from the Divergent series. These two have been the best books I have read, even though I read The Son of Neptune two years ago and read Divergent over the summer that just passed. They both are action packed, have extreme events, and suspense happens very often in these two books.
The Son of Neptune was written by Rick Riordan and published on October 4th, 2011. This was the 2nd book in the Heroes of Olympus. It recieved 3 awards and was put in the #1 NY Times Bestsellers list. What happens in this book is after 3 demons were trying to hunt down percy, he ends up in Camp Jupiter, a place similar to that of Camp Half Blood. The big difference was that Camp Jupiter was Roman (Jupiter is the Roman king of the gods), and that Camp Half Blood was Greek. Percy tries to get help from the people of Camp Jupiter, who didn't respect him because he a descendant of Poseidon, to defeat the demons that were trying to kill him, and will eventually kill everyone in the camp. The story would just go on with battles and rescues from the people at Camp Half Blood. This book was completely action packed and had a lot of suspense because people had a good chance of dying unexpectedly all throughout this story. For more info, click HERE.
Divergent was written by Veronica Roth and published in May 1st, 2012. I don't know what awards this book received, but it should get awards for being an amazing book. This is the 1st book in the Divergent series. It starts with a girl named Beatrice Prior as Abnegation. In her test, the result taker tells her that she is divergent, which means that she has traits that fir into more than one faction, she fits into Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. She chooses her faction and she goes through many painful tests during her initiation, but she still had to hide her divergence. The rest of the book is how she goes through the initiation and her hiding her divergence. For more info click HERE.
Why don't you guys try to decide which one is better, or at least help me pick one to be the best book for me. Leave your choices and reasons, if you read both of these book, in the comments below.
I read both of these novels, so I have a general idea about each. I liked how you were comparing a piece of text with another text in your entry. With the use of colloquial language, your article engaged me in. Since you asked: "Why don't you guys try to decide which one is better...", I'll have to say its The Son of Neptune. It mainly because I have the Percy Jackson series longer and I prefer anything that has to do with magic over science fiction and dystopia. Overall, I liked your blog. But maybe you should try to relate more with each book, not just state the summary.
