So, I'm sure many of you have heard about a movie coming out in March called Divergent. Well, it's based on a series by Veronica Roth. Divergent is an excellent and well-written book and if you love the Hunger Games, you will fall in love with this book.
Beatrice Prior lives in futuristic Chicago, where there are five factions--Candor (honesty), Abnegation (selfless), Dauntless (bravery), Erudite (intelligence), and Amity (peaceful). Beatrice is in Abnegation, but every year, all sixteen-year-olds choose what faction they truly belong to. They first get tested and then they get their results. From their results, they choose. Once Beatrice gets tested, she finds out that she is unique, she belongs to three factions, but together, it's called Divergent. She chooses Dauntless, where she later changes her name to Tris. She meets friends, as well as enemies.
My rating for this book is a 7.5 out of 10. Roth writes with such description that I can visualize everything she writes. There are many characters in this series, so if you dislike Harry Potter or the Hunger Games because of the abundance of characters, I don't encourage you to read this. On the other hand, if you're obsessed with Harry Potter (like me) and the Hunger Games (also like me), this is the book for you!
If you have read this book, I encourage you to read the Matched series by Ally Condie. It's very similar to the Hunger Games and Divergent. I also encourage you to read The Selection series. It's somewhat like the Hunger Games, but a more..."princess version". ;)
I cannot wait until Divergent comes out in March! Here's a trailer!
