Divergent (Book 1)By: Veronica Roth
Genres: Adventure, Dystopian, Romance, and Books - Movies For Ages: 12-16 In futuristic Chicago, society is divided into five groups based on personality traits: Candor, for honesty; Erudite, for intelligence; Abnegation, for selflessness; Amity, for peace; and Dauntless, for bravery. On a certain date each year, all sixteen year olds must choose to stay with the faction that you were born with or to choose a new one. For Beatrice, it is a choice between her family and her true self. Wow! This book was amazing! It was action-packed, but each event, instead of just being for entertainment, shaped the plot and characters. It was a bit violent towards the end, but the effect of it was very powerful. It was tremendously enthralling; I could not put the book down for a second! It had very interesting insights into society, and into people in general, and it was very thought provoking. I would definitely recommend this book. I would rate this book: A Must Read 4.5 Stars: * * * * .5 |
