Legend by Marie Lu is the most amazing book you will ever read. This awesome book tells a story about two teenages that would never have a reason to meet, until June’s brother is murdered. Day is the prime suspect. This Book throws twists and turns at you when you least expect it.

    Throughout the book Marie Lu takes you to both Day’s and June’s perspectives by writing from both of their heads. The Characterization in this book is Great. June is the smartest girl in her school with a perfect score on her trial. A test that everyone in the republic must take when you turn ten. No one else has ever gotten a perfect score. Mary Lu takes you into her head and really makes you see her point of things.

“ You know.....if  you took me along on some of your missions I’d probably learn a lot more and stay out of trouble.”

“Nice try. You're not going anywhere until you graduate and get assigned to your own patrol.” Says Meatis

When Metias finally speaks again, he sounds grudgingly curious. “So tell me” he whispers “How fast did you climb those 14 stories.”

“Six seconds” I whisper back.

June never stops wanting to do more than just learning. She want action.

    I realized  that when I really like a book I can’t stop reading it. I stayed up almost all night reading this book. When my bestfriend told me to read it I didn’t think I would like it, but it was amazing. When I was finished reading it I started wondering how it was possible for June to scale 14 stories of a building in six seconds. To me sounded impossible. But apparently it is not.

Everyone in the entire world should read this book!  I would definitely rate it a 10/10. The sequel, Patriot, is coming out in Fall 2012. I can’t wait! And you won’t either after you read it (I’m expecting you to)!!!!
