Divergent by Veronica Roth


Divergent is a phenomenal book that everybody would love. I find it very similar to The Hunger Games. Both books have a heroine that seems to be the lead of a war or a rebellion. Both books have a love interest (just Divergent does not a love triangle). Training to be a part of something is key in this book.

Beatrice gets tested to see which faction she belongs in. Her results were inconclusive, she's Divergent. Divergence is a threat to the city. To the Erudite. To the ones with power.

Beatrice Prior, or just Tris, chooses Dauntless (the faction that believes cowardice is the cause of most problems) over her old faction, Abnegation (the faction that believes selfishness is to be blamed for problems). Tris must be trained to become Dauntless by trainer Four, or Tobias. Tris falls in love with Tobias. 

Erudite (the faction that believes ignorance is to blame for problems) wants to overthrow Abnegation to gain control of the government. Tris must try to stop the Erudite before it is too late.

Read more in Divergent by Veronica Roth. This book is to come to the big screen March 2014. One choice can transform you. This is the first book out of three.
