Insurgent Review!

Insurgent surged in at the start with no introduction but as per the book is better than the film.

Theo James gets my awards for best actor.

One scene when talking to his mother made me jump. That particular scene sold him as a actor for me and that's why I'm giving him this invisible award. 

Insurgent Book Review - Twisted Moan of Madness

Insurgent is the second book in the Divergent series. Divergent ended with Tris and Four leaving on a train after all the sacrifice and defeating Erudite (kinda).

Insurgent to me seemed a little all over the place in terms of story with Tris visiting all the factions throughout the book as if she was having a tour of her world. This feel did sometimes confuse me at points of who she was talking to  but sometimes the style of the story did fit well with what was going on with many people unsure of what was actually happening in their world.

Insurgent welcomes some appealing new characters to the Divergent series throughout this book however, sometimes there was too many characters to handle leaving me simply with a name and nothing to fit with it.

The book as a whole can be a little sad at times with the killing and action but one scene lifts the mood of the book a lot and that was the paintball scene. For those who haven't read the book, Tris, Four and the others go back to Dauntless headquarters and find that there is lots of camera around the place. They then make a plan to cover all the camera with paint to stop Erudite watching them. This turns into more of a paintball fight than a camera cover mission but its a great way to connect with the characters that we haven't seen before and gives us greater understanding of the ones we do know from Divergent. This is a great scene, I really hope this scene is in the film as visually I think it would be good to see.

Bored With The Run Up To Christmas?

If you are like me you have recently broke up from school, college or university and are basically now waiting for Christmas, but the days waiting feel like forever or you end up being the dreaded B word, Bored. Here is a few things I do in my spear time or when I am bored that you could do to help pass some time.

Play Apps:

Both the Google Play store and the Apple App store both do well at making lots of fun and slightly addictive games accessible, so why not use them. 

My top 3 FREE addictive apps to play!

1. Stick Hero- This annoying game is simple, get to the next platform by simply making him a bridge to cross. This addictive game has had me annoyed for hours but I always go back for more. .

2. Dumb Ways to Die 2- This game is so stupid that I love it.The basis of the game comes from saving these cute characters from their deaths from things that many people would consider (hence the name) a dumb way to die. The only downfall to this game is that it can become repetitive which does take the spark out of the game a little for me as just by what you see before any instructions are given you know what to do but I guess this happens in every game the more you play it.

3. Make It Santa- This game is both annoying and silly but simply brilliant. Basically you have to deliver presents by throwing them down the chimney however, you have to watch out for the naughty children waiting up. The aim of the game is to go as fat as you can with delivering presents. The most annoying thing about this game is that it takes some time to get used to the camera angle of the actual game. In my opinion it is too zoomed in to have any reaction time to throw the presents but once mastered it is great fun. My current high score is 13 so see if you can beat that, If you do make sure to let me in the comments below.

Books Vs Films-Divergent

Book vs film is a common debate among fans. It is now my turn to add to this.

If you didn't know, Divergent is an action adventure film set in a world where people are divided into factions based on human virtues. The film explores Beatrice Prior , a girl who is different, a girl who is Divergent.
