i don't know, but sometimes i can't relate to football focused books, 'cause it's like all the characters are obsessed with it. i guess i just don't understand football culture.

It seems to be a huge focus in tons of books! I was just thinking that the guys always playing football is getting a little old. There is also the guy that played football but got hurt so now he is back in his hometown moping:)

Hehe. Yeah, you should have other people answer this. But I'm afraid they would all tell Divergent. As it is more popular than DOSAB.

message 1442: by Joanna Marie (new)

Joanna Marie (joannacapats) I haven't read THG so I can't compare it with Divergent. I've enjoyed its own angle since reading it though. I'll read Under The Never Sky soon ;)

YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YET? HAHA! OMG, you're missing quite a lot Joanna. LOL KIDDING. The dystopian craze has started in THG. There might be dystopian books before it, but ever since the success of it more's coming.

I honestly prefer THG over Divergent. It's one of my most favorite series.

Anyway, let's read Under the Never Sky together. What do you think? :)
