Divergent

Divergent by Veronica Roth takes place in a society where everyone is separated into five factions. Dauntless the brave, Amity the peaceful, Candor the truthful, Abnegation the selfless, and Erudite the intelligent. And when you turn sixteen you choose which faction you want to be in, either you stay with your family or you turn your back on them. In the book we meet Beatrice who is one of the Abnegation. When she turns sixteen she takes a test to see which faction she would fit in. Her results are inconclusive and she finds out she is Divergent which means she could belong in more than one faction. But she is told that she cannot tell anyone because if she does it might cost her life. When it comes time to choose, she joins The Dauntless and betrays her family. When she arrives at the Dauntless compound, she makes friends and enemies in Dauntless training. As she goes through training she finds that her Divergence is both an asset and a threat to her, also she has a romance with her trainer, Four. When she finishes her training, she is in a nasty surprise when the Erudite control the Dauntless and use them as an army against the Abnegation. But with the help of her friends and family she is able to stop the plot but at a terrible cost, with many dead including her friends and her parents. In the end, her, Four, and some others are alone their factions scattered and scared, not knowing what lies ahead.

I loved this book! It has good characters, tragedy, and action. It has suspenseful moments and I love the factions. But the romance between Beatrice (Tris), and Four is cheesy and annoying. This book would have done fine without it. Also when you read this book you'll hate the Erudite I guarantee it. All in all, GREAT BOOK!
