A first choice

OMG!!! Where do I start?
So, last month I read a book called "Legend" and it was so freaking awesome.<3
( I was supposed to write about the book I read in this month, but I'm writing about a book I read last month. Sorry for messing up the system at the beginning )
 And that book was  incredible, thrilling, breathtaking, impressive and just perfect. From the first page I read I knew it was going to be great but never as amazing as it truly was. I'm obsessed with the feature, character, writing style, author and everything in this book.  I had a hard time putting it down and  I couldn't help but writing about it. If you're a true booketarian, I would say the first thing you should do today is go to a library and check this book out.

ABOUT LEGEND:
Legend is a dystopian young adult novel by Marie Lu. It was written in 2011  ( i can't believe i read this after 4 years!) It is the first book of Legend trilogy, followed by Prodigy and Champion. It's written in alternative point of view and in present tense. It's reading level is 4.8. They are working on the movie for this book ( I can't wait!) and there's been so many dream cast for this.

ABOUT THE STORY:
Once known as America is now divided into The Republics and The Colonies. There's been a war for many years between them. The poor section of Republic is dying in plague, hunger and injustice.
Day -  The most wanted criminal of republic. His family thinks he's dead, republic thinks he works for opposite party; nobody has no idea who he is, how he looks, does he really exist or not!
June - Republic's only one prodigy with a perfect test score. An orphan who loves her elder brother to death. A patriotic girl training to be in army.
Everything was going on its own system but the thrill starts when June's brother dies and Day was the prime suspect. Day is aimed to save his family and can do anything for them. June has to catch Day so  she disguise in a street beggar. Day saves her one day and they fall in love with each other, when they don't even know each others name. June finds out the person she's in love is the person she's hunting for. She calls her patrol and Day gets caught, his mother dies by one of June's colleague.
Day's tormented in jail and he thinks June's betrayed him. June's rewarded for catching Day, but somehow she finds out the society she's in is the one who took her loves away. She learns a cruel truth about her parents, brother, Republic and Day. She plans to help Day escape and join the opposite party. Day and June escape a moment before Day's execution. But it's not the end, someone dies and rebel grows more and more.
The story continues to the Prodigy and Champion.

INSPIRING QUOTES:
"Every day means every thing is possible."
"I've been searching a long time for something I thought I lost."
"If you want to rebel, rebel from inside system."
"You're brilliant but you're a fool to stay with someone like me."

After all, this is one of the best book I've ever read. I will rate it 5 star out of 5 star. And this is highly recommended. :)
