Veronica Roth created a fantastic heroine in Tris. Tris is the product of a factionalized society. Every person has five factions to choose from:Candor, Amity, Erudite, Dauntless or Abnegation. The day someone has to choose their faction is the most important of their life, for this decision will a...
It turns out I'm not a huge fan of Roth's writing, although it's not offensively bad or anything like that, and I found the world of Divergent difficult to buy into . . . I still don't understand the purpose of the aptitude tests, since everyone chooses their own faction. And is this weird faction s...
"Divergent" is one of those books that suddenly popped up everywhere. I actually hadn't even considered reading it, until I read yesterday that it had been voted "Book of the Year" by Goodreads! Now I knew I had to see what the fuss was all about.The book did NOT disappoint! I was hooked from the ve...
Huh. So the blurb for Divergent says it takes place in a dystopian Chicago. I didn't pick up on the locale being Chicago, but then I've never been there and know next-to-nothing about the city. Also...details-schmetails.As I write this, Divergent's, the movie, marketing team is doing its best to dru...
AND... breathe! Talk about intense. To be clear, this is my second time reading Divergent and I'm still reeling from the action. I loved the fighting and how powerfully Roth wrote action scenes. And there were puh-lenty of those. I think for me, I understand Tris and Dauntless. As others have said -...
Actual Rating 3.5 starsThis is a nice fast paced young adult dystopian novel. This genre is currently glutting the market of YA fiction. If that were not so this book may have earned 4 stars. But I've recently read several such books and they're becoming kinda like popcorn to me, not all that satisf...
Fabulous. Read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Tris's transformation was so gradual that parts felt slow, but it still sucked me in and kept me reading. I loved when the soldiers were made and she became so completely bad-ass, shooting and running and doing what was necessary to su...
I really enjoyed this book .....there may be small spoilers in this review.The main character, Beatrice, is a 16 year old girl living in a dystopian future where society is divided into five factions - the members of each faction share the same personality traits as their fellow faction members, and...
Heh. I'm torn now. I eyerolled so much while reading this book that I may have permanently damaged at least some of my cranial nerves. And yet I read it in one sitting, annoyingly and inexplicably entertained. Go figure.There just may have been some facepalming as well.It's yet another young adult d...
