Divergent reviews

I'm a huge fan of this series.

Divergent is one of those reads that had me all night and I was done in under 24 hours. It's addictive.

Fans of the Hunger Games will surely enjoy this as it a similar concept of futuristic division in society. However there is a clear division in the two series and this one is a must read!

It's hard to write this review since I want to go ahead and jump into all the details, but I think they are better left unsaid and for the reader to find them out themselves.

However I will say that it is set in a post-apocalyptic time where their world is split up into five factions, each dedicated to a different virtue; the honest, the selfless, the brave, the peaceful, and the intelligent. When you turn 16, there is one day a year in which you are able to choose to either stay in the faction you were born into, or choose another faction in which you think you belong. For the main character, Beatrice Prior, she battles the life changing decision of feeling as though she doesn't belong in her faction. However, if she chooses to move, she will never see her family again. She renames herself Tris and meets a swoon-worthy boy who must protect her secret.

This book shows the world wonderfully and sets up for the second book, making me want to do nothing but get my hand on the second book, Insurgent!

I started reading this book at 6PM last night, based on someone else's recommen­dation. It's now less than 24 hours later and I'm nearly finished. I only put the book down so I could log in and secure my copy of the next book in the series!

Don't be put off by the “young adult fiction” label. Initially, I didn't think this book would appeal to me because it was ‘meant for youth’, but I'm 100% loving it!!! I've never read hunger games or any other ‘dystopian’ book, but I think I might have just discovered another genre that I love.

If you order this book, I recommend ordering the 2nd book at the same time. Trust me!

A must read

I got through it so quickly and could not wait to move on to the next one

Loved this book! Very hard to put down! Brilliant read

Its a good read. Thrilling. Suspencfull and chilling

It's nothing like Twilight or The Hunger Games. I didn't want this book to end.

Another great story that will have you wanting more and more. I really like how it makes you think about how life would be if society was broken into ‘factions’ and how this impacts on how you would live. Some very deep thinking underneath the wonderful fighting spirit of Tris (the main character). A suggestion would be to order all three books in the series at the same time as you are most likely to speed through them. A really great read.

Just buy this book, it's great
