Review | Divergent

I just recently finished reading the book 'Divergent' so I have decided to do this post on my review.

Divergent was first only a book as it is in a three book series written by Veronica Roth. Divergent is the first book in the series then second is 'Insurgent' which I own and have just started reading then third and lastly 'Allegiant' which I do not own but will be buying as soon as I can. However you may know that recently Divergent has been made into a film and has been very popular in cinemas.

From reading the book I get the idea that it is a bit like the hunger games as it includes decisions where some will benefit and others not at all .

So a basic summary of the story is...

The Choosing Ceremony is near & its all Tris can think about.
(So basically the city is made up of four different sections: 'Abnegation', 'Erudite', 'Amity'. 'Dauntless'. So everyone is born into one of these sections & grows up in that area & lives by the rules that are expected in that area. But when a child reaches a certain age they haved to take an aptitude test which determines which area you belong in as after the test there is a choosing ceremony where you choose to leave that area you grew up in forever and live in a different area or stay with the family you grew up with in the area you were from. But once you pick your area there is an intiation process where the top 10 initiates become part of that area till they die but the rest become 'factionless' - homeless.)
So when Tris' aptitude test results come back as DIVERGENT she knows she is in danger.


Shailene Woodley as
Tris.
This is a really good book and probably an even better film especially if your into the hunger games. It has 'The Fault In Our Stars' characters Shailene Woodley
(Hazel) and Ansel Elgort (Augustus) in the film which makes it even better. Its also very futuristic so if you like sci-fi then its a good book for you to.

Ansel Elgrot as
Caleb.
It contains some romance & some heartbreak, some sadness & will make you want to read on & on. What makes it even better is it is written in three different books. I am so glad I bought it.

Therefore I recommend you get Divergent ASAP then of course you will obviously haved to get Insurgent then Allegiant & you will thank me for telling you.
