DIVERGENTThe place is future Chicago, where people are divided into factions – Abnegation for the selfless, Candor for the honest, Amity for the peaceful, Dauntless for the brave and Erudite for the knowledgeable.
We have Beatrice Prior as our protagonist, a girl born in the Abnegation sector but the idea of being selfless just don’t come natural for her. So when she was 16, in her Choosing Ceremony, she chose to transfer to Dauntless. Where she changed her name into Tris and met the leading man in this story – Four.
And a story of love, bravery, sacrifice and the story that the whole YA Universe will adore BEGINS.
I read the book when I was in 4th year college, read it first before I get to know that there is a book called Hunger Games,hehe . and when Four was described in the book I immediately shared it to my fellow friends who were as excited as me to meet guys as hot as Four.
So first, what got me hooked is the world created by Miss Roth in Divergent. I got so immersed in the world built in Divergent that when Im reading it I easily forgot the outside world. It is like reading a Video Game – a perfectly created world within the bounds of a paperback.
I like the journey of Tris – from the self-conscious and confused Girl-from-Abnegation to the fierce and strong Tris-of-Dauntless. I like how she fought instead of crawling to some corner when she was being bullied and tormented by Peter. So I get to relate with Tris in that mindset.
Four, well he’s hot so automatically I like him. I like how he automatically shifts into PROTECTIVE MODE when he found out that Tris is a Divergent. That was sweet.
The book packed with action scenes and I have to reread some of the paragraphs for my imagination to catch up with Ms. Roth’s book.
Divergent is a hard-to-put-down book.
