Four of the books on my 2013 list (The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent, Insurgent, and The Spectacular Now) are being made into movies starring Shailene Woodley, while Ansel Elgort and Miles Teller will be featured in three. What can I say-- I'm a sucker for young adult material even though I aged out of that demographic a very long time ago. I actually found Veronica Roth's series to be pretty weak. I read the first book during my summer vacation at the lake and was satisfied to not continue with the series. Then the very day I returned to work, Insurgent was a "featured book" on a library shelf I walk past to get to my office. I felt compelled to read that, though I haven't sought out the third and final installment yet. I heard Allegiant is a disappointing conclusion, but as soon as it shows up in my small work library, I'll probably give it a whirl.
