In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.
Synopsis from GoodReads
I loved this book from beginning to end. I thought the story was fantastic, the characters intriguing and the imagery of the writing to be spot on. I especially enjoyed the character of Beatrice and watching her grow into Tris. She came across as such a strong yet vulnerable character. I just don’t know what else to say besides that I highly recommend this book to people that enjoy a tiny bit of romance mixed with lots of action. 5 stars to “Divergent” because it definitely lived up to the hype.Synopsis from GoodReads
This book is still sitting on my shelf! And the sequel to Divergent called Insurgent will be hitting bookshelves in May!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review! Can't wait to see what you think about Insurgent :)

My blog is written by Seth and Erin, the main protagonists in my novel Cursed. They write about everything from life before birth, to life after death, including all the fascinating bits in between. Drop in with us and you'll see posts on love, curses, magic, angels, demons, ghosts and much, much more.
