Dear One Direction,<\/p>\n

I am honestly one of your biggest fans I am extremely committed to you boys and your music.\u00a0I recently read a book called Divergent and I LOVED it. I actually rented it from the Pasadena\u00a0Public Library. Anyways it was AMAZING. Why is it so great you ask? Well here are a few\u00a0reasons why you should take time out of your busy schedule to read Divergent. First, is that the\u00a0book is a piece of literature at it’s finest, and I know this because as you read this page turning\u00a0novel you realize that you fall in love with the characters and find yourself caring about their\u00a0outcome in this futuristic world where teenagers are forced to fight to stay in a faction, which is a\u00a0type of club you live with, or else become homeless. This book will also have you staying up at\u00a0night thinking about the characters and the confusing secrets that lie in the world they are\u00a0forcefully living in. Not only that but you’ll also wonder about what you would do if you were\u00a0forced to live in a certain lifestyle acting a certain way. The fact that it not only gives you\u00a0entertainment but also causes you to ponder about things is a very big factor in a novel. Last but\u00a0not least this book will allow you to release the stress of life on the road and indulge yourself in a\u00a0foreign world of secrets, begging to be unveiled. I really hope you take time to read this book, it’s\u00a0fantastic and something you can read all over again; it never gets old. You’ll never know until\u00a0you try, and while you’re in Pasadena for your 3 concerts maybe you can even check it out of the\u00a0Pasadena Public Library! You’ll thank me later.<\/p>\n
