Divergent Book Review

    The book that I have just finished was Divergent. I really loved it and can easily say that it is my new favorite book. Divergent is about a futuristic society in which there are 5 different factions. Each faction represents a different personality or a different group of jobs; abnegation is selfless, dauntless are brave, candor are honest, erudite are knowledgeable, and amity are peaceful or caring. The book is told from a girl named Beatrice's point of view. In the beginning of the book, Beatrice is in the faction abnegation, but she knows that she does not belong there, especially when she finds out that she is divergent (able to belong in multiple factions). Within the first few chapters, during the Choosing Ceremony, Beatrice, who now goes by Tris, changes factions and becomes dauntless. While Tris goes through dauntless initiation, her and some other divergents discover that the erudite leader has been trying to kill divergents and is also trying to take over the entire community. Throughout the rest of the book, Tris becomes very individual and does what she thinks will be best for the community, you will have to read the book to find out.
   I would give this book five out of five stars. I really liked all the suspense that the author added into the book. It really hooked my interest and made me want to keep reading no matter what else I had going on. I also became very attached to some of the main characters in the book, such as Will, Christina, Tris, and Four. The author used a ton of really good diction while describing the characters thoughts and actions, which made them all feel very realistic and you eventually became attached to them. The type of reader that would enjoy this book is someone who enjoys reading sci-fi books that have a ton of suspense and just a hint of romance. Even if you aren't really into that, I still highly recommend that you try reading it.
