All this to protect and to keep alive the people that are close to them.
In my own opinion, I thought Legend, by Marie Lu, was an amazing thriller of a book. what I really liked about this book was the suspense and a new type of society, a different government, different cultures, and the inspiration that the main characters give off. I believe the people that enjoy adventure, romance, thrillers, and action novels would love to read these types of books. This book really made me think what would happen to me and my family if we were growing up in such unhealthy and depressing conditions. This book made me feel that I should help those that can't help themselves and to take care of our decent community. Also, that one should be thankful of the things that he already has.

Legend was a breathtaking book. It was filled with adventure, action, violence, mystery, and love. I personally loved the amazing relationship that June and Day held with one another. It really showed how it truly didn't matter if they were from completely different worlds because in the end love is love and nothing could get in the way of that. They were of course afraid to show that to one another because of how strange and unlikely it seemed, but the suspense and unpredictability of their relationship is what made the book even more intriguing. It really made me feel that fate is real and always ends up bringing two people who are meant to be together, no matter where they're from or what background they have. I also really enjoyed the action and adventure in this book because it was all so suspenseful and compelling that I could never stop reading. I was fully drawn into the book and the incredible story line. Each chapter brought me to life with June and Day's unpredictable and courageous adventures and truly took my breath away. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a nice combination of action and romance.

What I like the book LEGENDS is that the characters live in a different world than a ours. The United states is divided into the Republic, Colonies, and Patriots. The book is filled with many thrilling adventures and dramatic moments. The sequence of the book is genius and the plot is one not to forget. The book is written in two different perspectives which is unique but very creative. I would recommend the book to those who seek for adventure. The book made think that everybody has a motive to the actions that they do. For example one of our characters Day is known to the society as a criminal. Day's motives make him the opposite of what he is classified as.The story is filled with many plot twist that you wouldn't expect. the plot is one not to forget. Overall the book is fantastic and one of my favorite books.
