Divergent by Veronica Roth


A while back a friend of mine had suggested I read this series. It sounded interesting, however, I had not gotten round to starting the books until recently. I had watched the movie and thought it was interesting so I decided to investigate the books.

I felt it was another play of the Hunger Games with bits of The Giver, Brave New World, and The Fifth Sacred Thing all rolled into one. I enjoyed all of those books to differing degrees. I also found this book to be pleasing. I'm a sucker for a powerful female role. Throughout the book Tris doesn't always appear to be in that role, however the fact that she doesn't truly give up makes her just that woman. 

Overall, it is a rather interesting story that kept me captivated. I know it is aimed toward a younger generation but I would encourage you to delve into this story.

Happy reading!!
