Tolkien and so I started to write the kind of books that I was reading. My interest in fantasy and science fiction began when I was introduced to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J. When I was 8 my family moved to California, where we lived for 6 years on both sides of the San Francisco peninsula. My mother wanted to name me "Tamara" but the nurse who filled out my birth certificate misspelled it as "Tamora". Obviously, I've read a lot of books in 54 years! It's a very evil way to use up time when I should be doing other things. When I get bored, I go through the different lists and rediscover books I've read in the past. I'm not snooty-I'm just up to my eyeballs in work and appearances!Īlso, don't be alarmed by the number of books I've read. I just don't have the time to take part, so please don't be offended if I don't join your group or accept an invitation. Though I would love to join groups, I'm going to turn them all down. I return to my regularly scheduled profile: So before you go getting all hacked off at me for trashing your favorites, know that I've written GoodReads to find out what's going on. How do I know I haven't? Because I haven't read those books at all. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review, next week I will be reviewing Summer in Provence by Lucy Coleman.Hey, folks! I just discovered that apparently I have given some very popular books single-star ratings-except I haven't. It’s such an important message that everyone needs in their heart to remind them to be better. I think this inspiration is something that every young person should read to get, remember and take with them through all their journeys throughout the rest of their lives. I honestly don’t know any other book that’s touched me in the same way that this book did and continues to touch me. How could I ever measure up to that given how much ill will there is in the world? How could I possibly find my way of making a difference like Tris does? Tris goes even further by taking in an orphan, giving a hurt man a new lease on life, fixing a man-made drought, showing people that different is ok and changing a whole cities way of life.
But the inspiration is there, and I’m reminded of it every time I read this book. As a teenager reading this for the first time, I was inspired to do better, be better and fight for what’s right. Tris’s ability to see past this cities ambivalence and see the people, what they’re going through and how broken the structure is, is amazing.
In a world where slavery is almost gone, this city essentially lives with it as it’s entire eco-system. In so many ways this city makes me feel ashamed that I’m human. The last book in the quartet follows Tris as she makes her mark in a new city.
Welcome back everyone, there’s been a lot of contemporary romances lately so it’s good to get back to a fantasy briefly.
