Divergent

A Book Review by Ella Kemp

• Author: Veronica Roth
• Series: the Divergent trilogy
• Genre: Science fiction, Dystopia, And young-adult fiction
• Sequels: Insurgent, Allegiant, Four (a companion book)

I would rate Divergent 4 1/2  out of 5 stars, and say that it is the best book in the series.

This story starts with a girl named Beatrice Prior who is a regular girl, living in a world of rules and factions. A faction is a large group of people who have the same traits. Each faction has their own set of rules for the people, a certain place to live, and a certain color of clothes. The factions are: Abnegation who are The Selfless, Amity who are The Peaceful, Candor who are The Truthful, Erudite who are The Intelligent, and Dauntless who are The Brave. Then finally there are the Factionless, the people who don’t have a faction. As you read on you discover that the factions are not who they say they are.

I can tell what you’re thinking… BORING and, “Why should I spend my time on a book like this?” Trust me you will take DEEP interest in the Divergent series. If you are squeamish about violence and not a fan of romance then I suggest you shouldn’t read this book, but otherwise this book is very gripping and interesting. In conclusion, I think you should definitely read this book.
