Hi everyone! I've finished reading Divergent by Veronica Roth a few days ago, and let me just say IT WAS AWESOME! This was one of my favorite book's I've ever read, besides from Hollow City by Ransom Riggs (
CLICK HERE for that blog post). Basically, society has been split up into 5 groups (factions) in order to maintain peace. When you're born, you are born into the faction that you're parents are in. When you turn 16, you choose your own faction (you can choose to stay with your parents, or choose a different faction.) You can not see the members of other factions ever (only on visiting day). If you don't choose a faction, you are "faction less" which are the impoverished people. The abnegation (one of the five factions) is the group who runs the government. That ends up causing a "small" (or not so small) problem, which you need to read the book in order to find out! There is also a little dating which goes on, which makes the story even better! I also really liked the writing style that Veronica Roth used, and there is a lot of suspense in the story, it was definitely a difficult book to put down!
I would also like to see the movie soon, but I recommend that you read the book prior to watching the movie!
Let me know of any book recommendations down below, and also, tell me how you liked Divergent! Are you going to move on to the next book in the trilogy?
