I just finished reading Divergent a few days ago. In short, wow.
I don't know how I feel how the first book ended. I just know Divergent really was exciting.
The book didn't start up like I thought but was definitely a page turner around the middle of the book.I don't want to give away any spoilers but Beatrice was awesome. I admire the parts in the book where she shows her bravery. The small little details are the things that really make a book for me. I love how Beatrice goes to the tattoo parlor to represent her past. I also like how Veronica Roth uses the theme that selflessness and bravery are often the same thing.
I really love how the pit was depicted in my mind. I pictured it as the inside of an ant hill with its many tunnels and hallways. I think it a place that you could easily get lost in.
I hope the Divergent movie depicts the book well like the Catching Fire movie accomplished.
I can't wait to read the Second book which is on hold at the library right now. Hopefully, I will able to read it soon.
I took a couple of tests to determine my faction and concluded that I belong to the Candor Faction: I value honesty.
Remember faction before blood
Book summary (you should really read it if you haven't yet):
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
Veronica Roth is the New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, the first in a trilogy of dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
