Divergent by Veronica Roth -Review

Title: Divergent
Author: Veronica Roth
Page Number: 487
Genre: YA
Synopsis: In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

My Review:When I first heard of this book it sounded like Hunger Games meets Matched and a little of Delirium. I loved all three so I was very excited and I heard a lot of good things about it. But, I also had high expectations because I loved all three of those books so much. Luckly, my expectations were met.
So, right off the bat, it was very fast pace and steady. The world Roth created was interesting and intriguing. I think the whole factions idea was really unique.

Tris is a reliable narrator and I enjoyed reading her perspective on the world in which she lives in.
It reminded me of Matched’s, in the sense that she’s living in a world wher society has control over her life choices. Delirium in the sense that, although not much was said about it, there is a fence around all four factions and in a way the people are trapped inside, either scared of the outside, or keeping everyone on the inside.

I loved the romance. I loved Four. I loved everything about it. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a book and was just so captured by it. I love it so so much.

Will Insurgent come out already?!


And I definitly recommend this to fans of The Hunger Games, Matched, and Delirium!


My Rating: 5/5 -I loved it very much.  Especially Four ♥
