PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this edgy debut (definitely not for the fainthearted), first in a trilogy, promising author Roth tells the riveting and complex story of a teenage girl forced to choose, at age 16, between her routinized, selfless family and the adventurous, unrestrained future she longs for. Beatrice "Tris" Prior lives in crumbling dystopian Chicago, where citizens are divided into five factions Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, and Erudite depending on their beliefs, passions, and loyalties. When Tris forsakes her Abnegation family to become one of the wild, fearless Dauntless, she must confront her deepest fears, learn to trust her fellow initiates, and guard the ominous secret that she is actually a Divergent, with the strengths of multiple factions, and is therefore a target of dangerously controlling leaders. Roth's descriptions of Tris's initiation process are as spellbinding as they are violent, while the tremulous romance between Tris and her protective and demanding instructor, Four, unfurls with heart-stopping tenderness. For those who loved The Hunger Games and are willing to brave the sometimes sadistic tests of strength and courage Tris must endure, the reward is a memorable, unpredictable journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
Book is crap
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!! Divergent is a book with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The book's ideas seem more or less copied and pasted from different hits from the past, including but not limited to The Matrix, Inception and The Hunger Games. While the complete lack of creativity in the storyline and ideas would be, if not acceptable, then bearable if the writing had been good or captivating in the slightest, the book falls massively short in that respect too. Finally, the characters. One would expect that since most of the ideas were stolen, the characters would be slightly compelling, however despite the great characters from all the past works from which this "book" has drawn inspiration, the characters aren't only 2 dimensional but also annoyingly repetitive. In summary, don't bother with this book.
