" Rest assured, if there's a way, we will find it," she said more encouragingly
" It wont be easy," Gabriel Qualified
" But not impossible, right? " i could sense that Xavier was clutching desperately to any hope, however slim.
" No, not impossible," my sister said with a small smile.- Chapter 11- ( Reunion) - Page 140.

" There must be some way to make my presence known to them. How could they not sense my proximity? Those I loved most were a hand's breadth away and yet totally inaccessible."- Chapter 11- ( Reunion)- Page 140.

Blurb-  

IS LOVE A GREAT ENOUGH POWER AGAINST EVIL?

Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world:Gabriel the warrior; Ivy the healer;and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal not, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone - especially herself...

My review- The fact that the author of this book " Alexandra Adornetto" wrote this book at the age of 18 surprised me as i thought of her as more in the age of mid 20's.  In my honest opinion, my first impression on this book was not a very good one as the thought of that this book is about angels made me less encouraged t to read it as i am not a person who is very fond of fantasy books, however as known by the famous saying " Do not judge a book by it's cover" i gave it a go and the next thing you know i could not take my eyes away from this book a single second as acknowledging the passionate and caring relationship of Bethany and Xavier of how they both could not stay away from each other a single moment which goes to show that " Love can make you do some crazy things" which does not happen very often in many books. The knowledge of prospects of heaven and hell has given me quite a good knowledge about philosophy and ethics and I have found out some stuff that I had not even knew before! This will come handy in my lessons! :D As the novel came gradually to an end it finished with a dramatic cliffhanger which suddenly makes you realise that there is a second part to this novel! I cannot wait till i read the next part " Hades " and fingers crossed nothing would dissapoint me and is hopefully as good or even better than Halo. Its extraordinary that before I despised reading any sort of books about angels and after reading Halo things have defiantly changed and in future i hope to read more fantastic books about angels. Lastly I would like to say a big WELL DONE to the author of this book on doing a tremendous job and making not only me but i am sure other readers gripped on this books just like I was! However the reason why I did not give it 5/5 stars is because it did not feel as original to me as I thought it would have, I guess I was expecting more of a dramatic, mysterious plot rather than everything going right in the book there has to be some dilemma to me in order for me to give it full marks!

My favourite book I have chose is: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Beatrice "Tris" Prior- Mary Kate Olsen


The reason why she fits best with the character " Beatrice " is because Beatrice is described as being very short and quite simple and sweet looking. She has dark blonde hair and blue eyes. Mary Kate Olsen has got that innocent sweet looking face that  conveys you can never imagine her as being a tough, strong person which is exactly what Tris's character portrays in Divergent. 














Tobias Eaton/ Four- Liam Hemsworth

The reason why he fits best with the character " Tobais/ Four " is because Tobias, unlike Tris is quite tall and has dark short hair with deep blue eyes and is supposed to be quite good looking. He is supposed to be strong inside and outside as he is always there to protect Tris from others and help her to become much more stronger and more independent.














Christina- Keke Palmer


The reason why she fits best with the character " Christina" is because she has light chocolate skin, dark brown hair and dark eyes just like Keke Palmer. Christina is also supposed to be energetic and quite strong as Keke, however has a sweet looking face just like Tris, although she has that look that can also be seen from sweet, lovely girl to tough, energetic girl. She is also supposed to be a pretty girl just like Keke.












Peter- Channing Tatum


The reason why he fits best with the character " Peter " is because Peter is supposed to be muscular and strong and also have a violent, aggressive " bad boy " vibe towards himself not only on the inside but outside also which I though perfectly fits Channing Tatum as he has that look about him that portrays a bullying side of him just like Peter has when he bullies and threatens Tris just because, even though she looks weak on the outside however on the inside she is powerful and brave which is what enables her to take part in more unexpecting and challenging challenges. 








Will- Austin Butler


The reason why he fits best with the character " Will " is because he has blond hair and also crease between his eyebrows just like Will's. Austin has a sweet, cute looking face which portrays the character of Will's as he has a bubbly personality and is supposed to be a funny character.Austin also seems like the charming boyfriend material who is protective over Christina his crush and also his best friend Tris judging by his delicate and soft features of his face just like Will's.












 Marcus Eaton- George Clooney


The reason why he fits the best  with the character " Marcus " is because he is Four's father who is acknowledged as an abusive, violent father who used to whip Four when he was a little child. Although not very much is described about Marcus's features and more is focused on his type of behavior, I though that George Clooney has got that mischievous looking side to him just like Marcus's character.














This is my list of " my perfect " best suited for Divergent and I have explained why I have chosen them best fitted for that character. You are welcome to comment just below this post about what you think of the cast chosen by me or if you did not like it very much, why and what could I have done to improve by your opinion.
