I really thought that I was going to hate this book, but I rarely put it down over the two days in which I read it. It is also so fast paced, it is very difficult to lose interest in the story.Some of the foreshadowing borders on patronizing. Even though I assumed from the beginning that there would...
Ratings: August 3, 2013 — 5 starsApril 30, 2015 — 4 starsThoughts upon rereading: The first time round I read Divergent in 2013, I devoured it. I loved it to bits. For most of my teen years I read contemporary fiction and to finally delve more into science fiction, specifically dystopian fiction, wa...
I was waaaaay more than pleasantly surprised by this.I wrote a review for the whole series over on my website. Spoiler free. It's here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.

So when I jokingly made such a comment about Divergent to my sister (messynotebooks), and found a copy of it ly...
A friend and fellow Harry Potter fan asked me if I'd read this. That caused me to try the film adapted from it, which I enjoyed. I could immediately see parallels to Rowling's world in this dystopia set in a future Chicago. Mind you, Tris, the narrator and heroine, is very much her own charac...
Roth's Vision of futuristic Chicago may attract unfair comparisons to The Hunger Games, It is still different in many ways. The Dystopian genre might be "blooming" these days, but Divergent still offers many unique aspects. What will it be like if we divide amongst ourselves to eliminate evil, yet e...
