Divergent (Divergent, #1)

by Veronica Roth

[Baroness Book Trove]

I heard about this series before the movie came out but I never really thought much about it. I never read the plot or anything just heard from a bunch of people that it was good and that it was bad. But I decided after I was done reading the Hunger Games a couple of years ago that I would read this book series to see what the hype is all about it.

I actually get with why the author took a while to get up to the "main event" of the book towards the end of it because she wanted to get us, the readers, into Beatrice's world and see how their lives are totally different from ours in the here and now. I actually liked it since throughout the Dauntless initiations we see Beatrice totally change from the way that she was raised to be like what the Dauntless people would be like. It was a pretty good change to me.

Toward the end of it though I was quite sad and I had to stop reading after, the first time, when Beatrice's mom got killed and, the second time, then again when Beatrice's dad got killed as well. Those two were like the saddest parts but I know that the author must have had a good reason to do it. Overall this book was a good one and I am happy to have read it finally.
