Rating: 9/10
My
comment: I really enjoyed this book. I haven't read many
fantasy/dystopian novels, but I have read the Hunger Games and have definitely
read the Harry Potter series (at least 5 times :P).
I loved everything about this book. The structure was
perfect and Roth really made me believe that I was a part of this world. I
loved the sexual tension between Beatrice and Four/Tobias. I would definitely
reread this book and continue to enjoy this series. Hell, I actually enjoyed it
more than The Hunger Games.
The story is based in a futuristic type of city, and each
family belongs to a different faction. When you turn sixteen you do a physical
personality-type test to determine which faction you are most suited for, but
you may make the final decision yourself.
The
personalities of each faction and definition:
Abnegation: to
refuse or deny oneself; to serve others before yourself.
Erudite: Great Knowledge
Candor: state
or quality of being frank or open; sincere in speech or expression
Amity: friendship;
peaceful; harmony; peace between nations. (one that I would've chose)
Dauntless: To
be different (the faction that Tris chose)
Divergent:
This faction is not well known. It is a mixture of all five factions, and you
should not tell anyone that you are a Divergent as you can be dangerous and a
threat (the one that Tris got sorted as during her personality test).
This book is definitely worth
the read and I'm glad that I hopped onto the bandwagon and gave it a shot. -Heather McIntosh
