4.5 stars rounded up. Beware of mild spoilers! This is a very fast-paced book about a 16-year old girl named Beatrice, who lives in a society where people are sent to certain factions that they choose, and most of the time people choose based on the results of an aptitude test. However, after Beatrice takes the test, she gets an inconclusive result, meaning that she is Divergent, a very dangerous thing in her society. She has to get into a faction through initiation, which is what the majority of the book is about.

SUUUUUUPER awesome. Although a bit violent in places, I had no idea it was a series at first! If I had I probably would have bought all of the books at once. XD But I have read the full series and FULLY recommend this book, even though it made me veeeeeeery mad at the end .
This book was amazing!! This book is about Tris and what Tris chose for her faction was unbelievable she had chosen to be a Dauntless. Tris chose Dauntless because she thought that being a Dauntless would give her freedom, but it was hard. In Dauntless some people tried to scare her, tease her, and sometimes even kill her. But Tris did make some friends and a true love. Her family didn't care if she betrayed them, they loved her no matter what and they would sacrifice themselves for Tris, [short for Beatrice]her mother and father died. Her mother was keeping some secrets and Tris uncovered them. Tris is Divergent she is one of all the factions, the Dauntless leaders are scared because Divergent can't be controlled and that means they can be dangerous. Life will become harder and harder for her. I recommend this book to for ages 12 and more. Have fun reading!! This book was amazing!!

This is one of the greatest action, sci-fi, and adventure-packed dystopian novels! This is a rite-of-passage novel, with action, romance, and self-realization woven in. Divergent is quite enjoyable and entertaining. I think I might have enjoyed this book more than the film. The plot is a little muddled, in a future Chicago, society has been placed into five different factions, Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. But unlike some others of this genre, Divergent is thought-provoking teen sci-fi. Science fiction it may be, but the essence of the book is that timeless adolescent conundrum: Who am I?
When you first read the title Divergent you might wonder what that means. There are ways to find out what it means, for example you could read the book (which is what I recommend you do) or I could just tell you, which I probably will do. So, it means that you are aware when you take simulation test and that you can in a way mess with it. But you probably still don't understand so that is why you should read the book. The book follows the life of Tris and her story. Tris is Abnegation. The Abnegation are selfless, they care about others. She wears grey and only grey. Once a year there is a Choosing Day, where everyone who is 16 years old will choose their fraction. Tris choose Dauntless. She thought the Dauntless were free, but when she got to the Dauntless headquarters everything she thought about Dauntless changed. It was hard, but she was determined and brave. Life then eventually got more difficult, but I won't spoil the rest for you! I love this book a ton and I recommend the book for ages 13+. And don't forget to: READ the book and COMMENT the book! Happy reading!
