This week, I have continued to read Allegiant. I have grown a great liking for the book. A change of events have been happening throughout the story. I don't want to give away much, but the most interesting thing that happened in the book was when Tris and Four got on a train to go beyond the fence. There was always a lot of suspense as I read this week, and I did not want to put the book down!

The part I am at in Allegiant (Tris, Four and other members getting on the train to go beyond the fence) is reminding me of a book I have read in the past, Hourglass by Myra McEntire. In Hourglass, the main characters have to go behind their work leader to risk their lives to travel back in time a save a friend. It is a fantastic book that I recommend reading. It reminded me of this part of the book in Allegiant because they also are risking their lives to travel beyond the fence. They don't know what will be out there, and don't know if what is out there will hurt them, but they are hoping for something better than the lives they have inside the fence.

Veronica Roth is the author of Allegiant. She was born in August 1988 near Chicago, IL. Veronica graduated with a creative writing degree. Her first book was Divergent, and then she went on writing Insurgent and Allegiant. Veronica also wrote a few short stories in relation to the Divergent book series. I think she has a great future ahead of her, and I'm excited to read more of her books.
