In Divergent by Veronica Roth, the story
follows Beatrice Prior and her family. They
live in the Abnegation faction, a faction who are very selfless and do
everything for others. Beatrice gets pretty tired of being so
selfless, and she thinks it’s getting a little boring. So on Choosing Day, Beatrice chooses a
different faction out of the five factions; Amity, Dauntless, Candor, Erudite,
and her own faction, Abnegation. She ends up choosing Dauntless and changes her
name to Tris. From then on, Tris thinks
she is just an Abnegation-born weakling.
She builds up her strength to make it to the top of the rankings! Even
before the Dauntless initiation, Tris has to hide that she is Divergent, which
means she qualified for more than one faction in the aptitude test. Can Tris fight her way back to the top, with
everyone jealous of an Abnegation-born sixteen-year old? If you
want to find out if Tris keeps fighting in Dauntless or goes back to
Abnegation, read Divergent! This book
made me laugh at some points because of how some of the characters talked to
each other and described each other. I
would recommend this book to fans of action, sci-fi and the future.

I haven't read this book, but I was at the movies this weekend and saw that they had turned it into a movie. To be honest the movie trailer looked interesting, but I thought your review gave me a better idea if what the book was about. Now I have to buy the book and read it! Do you think it will be a book I can add to the library,r is it more for junior high students?
ReplyDeleteI wrote this comment a year ago, and then promptly read the book. Recommended it to my husband and kids, who read the book. Then we read the entire series, and now we're in the process of watching all the movies as they come out. And that, is the power of a good book review!
DeleteThis comment is for skiolimpics101. Nice job on your review. I do have a question for you though, do you think there was any message in the series from the author to the reader? Think about how someone who is divergent, has more than one character trait. How they can fit in with a lot of different factions, not just one.
