Divergent by Veronica Roth
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Publication date: March 5, 2011
DIVERGENT is about Beatrice
Prior, a sixteen-year-old girl living in dystopian Chicago, which is
divided into factions based on virtues. When Beatrice picks the
faction that she wants to belong to, and begins initiation, she
discovers that there are dangerous secrets lying beneath the orderly
surface of her world. As Beatrice becomes more entwined in her
faction, she realizes that people and things are not always what they
seem. I really enjoyed DIVERGENT. It was well-written and so
compelling that I found it difficult to put down. The romance was not
overdone and the ending is a semi-cliffhanger that makes me want to
read the sequel. I would definitely recommend this book, especially
to fans of other dystopian novels. However, I would encourage readers
who did not necessarily enjoy other dystopian novels to try
DIVERGENT. I would recommend this book for children ages 14
and up (which is what the book recommends) due to some graphic
violence that may be disturbing.
