   The album cover includes Shaliene Woodley (Tris) and Theo James (Four). This cover is mysterious and dark which makes the effect of Divergent 10x better. The music definitely describes the hardships and action in the book. When the soundtrack came out on iTunes I was so excited when I saw Ellie Goulding, Snow Patrol, and Zedd where on this album! The Divergent Soundtrack includes many different types of music. This album includes rap, pop, rock, and many other genres of music.

  This is my second favorite movie soundtrack. My first is, of course, the Hunger Games Soundtrack.
My favorite songs would have to be I Won't Let You Go by Snow Patrol and Beating Heart by Ellie Goulding. I listen to this soundtrack in the car, when I'm getting ready for school, outside, in the shower, and before I go to bed. I'm completely obsessed with Divergent and I love this album.

  Click the link above and tell me what your opinions are about The Divergent Soundtrack.

  Stay on the look out for my next blog post! I might do a book review, album review, or maybe even something new! Comment some ideas below. Also I wanted to tell you that I received a camera for my birthday and I might have some posts of the pictures I have been taking. I've always wanted to get into photography!

Thanks you so much for visiting MaeShows.
Hope you enjoyed,

Divergent Book Review!

   Hello everyone! Thanks to school and activities, I've had absolutely no time to post. The weather in Pittsburgh is starting to warm up. Yay! Today I'm going to review a book! Reading is one of my favorite past times and I've chosen to review Divergent by Veronica Roth.



    I've heard a bunch of different opinions about this book. Some people say it's just like the Hunger Games, others say they love this book! The action, romance, and set up of Divergent is spot on. It takes place in the future when the city of Chicago is split up into five factions. The five factions are: Abnegation which is selfless, Dauntless which is brave and the protectors of the city, Candor which is honesty, Amity which is kind and the food providers, and Erudite which is intelligence.

   When you turn 16, you go through a test. The test determines which faction you choose. You can stay in a faction where you were born in or transfer to a different faction. In Divergent it follows the life of Tris. When Tris goes through the test, her results were inconclusive, which is Divergent. Divegents are dangerous because they can be rebellious and hard to control. When it's time for the Choosing Ceremony Tris has to make a big decision on which faction she wants to belong to.

   The characters: Tris Prior, Four, Christina, Will, Al, Peter, Marcus, Eric, Caleb Prior, Molly, Uriah, Drew, Natalie Prior, Andrew Prior, Jeanine, and Tori. There are A LOT more but these are mostly the main and most talked about characters in the book.

   Divergent is a thrilling, hard to put down book. It's the first out of three books. I praise Veronica Roth for thinking of and putting together such an amazing, thought out book. I definately recommend this book to people who are into action ad sci-fi books. I LOVED this book and adore Shaliene Woodley (Tris) in the movie Divergent. The most asked question is: Is Shaliene Woodley the next Jennifer Lawrence? In Divergent the movie, Shaliene Woodley is energetic and completely portras Tris in the best way possible. She has definately proven herself that she could be just like Jennifer.
I adore Shaliene Woodley but in my opinion I like Jennifer more. Who do you like better: Shaliene Woodley or Jennifer Lawrence?

  Look out for the Divergent soundtrack review that's going to be posted soon! 

Have a GREAT day,
Mae ;)
