Having acquired all 3 books in the series, I have now read the first which seems to be aimed mainly at a female Young Adult readership. It takes place in a dystopian future in which Chicago has been divided into five Factions to avoid future conflict. At the age of 16, young people are tested and th...
Beatrice was born and raised in the Abnegation faction, but chooses Dauntless because she feels it is who she truly is. However, her aptitude test was inconclusive, and she is "Divergent" - a fate that is mysterious but also dangerous. Once in Dauntless, she begins again under a new name - Tris. Tri...
Reading a book like “Divergent” reminds me what I missed out on during my teen years. I don’t mean wishing to live in Roth’s faction society. The majority of my reading as a younger person was garbage. I should give myself more credit, but it is hard not to laugh when I remember all the junk I dev...
Hating the government is big business. Without a government we could hate, a lot of people will be out of job. I’m not just talking about scumbag officials. Imagine what Zack de la Rocha would do without hating the government. No one will listen to his pathetic attempts at rapping and lousy slogans....

They say adolescence is the best time of our lives. "Enjoy it while it lasts," they say. They are lying through their teeth. Adolescence is hell on Earth. Beatrice Prior knows this all too well. Ripped from her home and her support system at 16, that most vulnerable of ages, she must make a c...
“Divergent” was a series that managed to stay out of my line of vision up until the point where the commercials for the first movie came out, at which point I got very interested. I soon found out from one of my friends that she read all three books and enjoyed the first two but after reading the th...
The plot is really fast paced making it an easy read.The concept is interesting, if not entirely believable.I went between "the book is amazing" being catch by the emotional part of the story,feeling as would I be one of the characters to "does this make any sense?" ...There is so much action that y...
Overall, I really liked this book. I like the factions idea, even if I don't agree with it. It's a tad to Nazi-esque for my taste. But I like what they represent.I really like the character of Tris. She started off as, well, a stiff. There is no other word for it. She wasn't enough for Abnegation, b...
