Praise for DIVERGENT:
“The next big thing.” (Rolling Stone )

“Well-written and brilliantly executed, DIVERGENT is a heart-pounding debut that cannot be missed.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
One of the most hotly anticipated movies coming out this autumn is based on a popular dystopian novel for teens penned by American author Veronica Roth. Divergent—the first book in a trilogy—tells the story of Beatrice, a 16-year-old who threatens the rigid world order of the futuristic Chicago she inhabits, where human beings are separated into factions based on particular virtues like honesty or bravery. Read this gripping book before you see the film.
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.

It was so good I couldn't put the book down for the entire weekend, and if you like the hunger games, then without a doubt you should read this!
Impossible to put down!
An amazing read. For all those VA fans out there.. Four is the new Dimitri. It's action packed and keeps surprising you at every turn. It will also be a movie in 2014 :)
Great dystopia read
A very great dystopia read, Tris is a great Heroine who is independant and smart. This book is full of action, romance, and lots' of thought-provoking questions about our future.
