Divergent

Divergent by Veronica Roth was an amazing book! I loved it so much. It was a fast paced, exciting adventure. This kept me up all night flipping the pages.

People were living in this post-apocolyptic society where you got to choose a faction to go into. There were five factions- Candor, where you go if you always tell the truth, Abnegation, where the selfless go, Amity, where the peaceful people end up, Dauntless, the brave, and the Erudite, the intelligent.

Before you chose your faction, you would go into a test. The test would tell you what faction would be best for you. When the main character, Beatrice went into the test, the results weren't so good. She got Divergent, which means that your personality was good for more than one faction. In that society, this was especially dangerous.

Beatrice, was born into Abnegation. But when it came  time for her to choose, she chose Dauntless. This shamed her family. What was even worse for her parents, was that Beatrice's brother chose to go into Erudite instead of Abnegation. You see, if somebody chose to switch factions like Beatrice and her brother did, it shamed your entire family.

After an exciting train ride/ jump off the train, Beatrice was forced to jump off a building and into a hole. If she had not done that, she would not have been able to be in that faction and would end up factionless. Being Divergent, Beatrice had to be very careful. She told people her name was tris, met a boy named Four, and found out something big.

Beatrice discovered the protagonist's plan. Which was to gather Dauntless people and put them into an army. The protagonist was the leader of the Erudite faction. Erudite and Abnegation were natural enemies. Once the Dauntless people were gathered, the Erudite leader put something into their brains to make them act much like zombies. But since Beatrice was Divergent the thing that they put into her brain didn't work. Beatrice goes on to decide if she will help or play along.

It's a very interesting book. I really liked it. Although, it did have some romance that I thought was rather forced. Other than that, it was a very good book and I recommend it to anyone and everyone who loved the Hunger Games. I give this book and A.
