Several months ago, I had finished Divergent by Veronica Roth. The book was given to me by my brother as a Christmas present and I was right into it.
I was finished in three days. It's a very catchy style of writing, almost like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Here though is a dystopian fiction story about a girl named Beatrice. This is the future Chicago. Trains are the main form of transportation between factions.
To prevent war, five factions were created. The Abnegation were those who proclaimed selfishness to be a main evil. The Amity believed that it was cruelty. The Candor believed that it was dishonesty. The Dauntless shared an idea of cowardice creating this. The Erudite were those who blamed the lack of knowledge.
At the age of sixteen, every child of a faction was given a choice to change factions. If they did, they would not be able to see their parents other than Visiting Day. The quote "faction before blood" holds true in everyone's hearts.
Everyone is given an Aptitude Test before the day to help each person determine the faction that a person will most likely be in. Beatrice's aptitude confuses herself and will put her through danger.
This is a dystopian romance and adventure book. It has appealed me to go back many times. I am obsessed with this series. A third book is coming out this year. A movie for Divergent is also coming. I am counting down the days to it.
The copy is in both paperback and hardcover. Whichever one you feel is better, can be bought. I hope this book review helped!
