Divergent

I just finished the book Divergent and its sequel Insurgent by Veronica Roth. The story is about a girl, Tris, who lives in a dystopian Chicago where everyone is divided into 5 factions. The factions are Abnegation, Candor, Amity, Erudite, and Dauntless. When children reach the age of 16, they choose the faction to which they will forever be committed. Forever and Always. The Abnegation are committed to selflessness, the Candor must always be honest, The Amity are peaceful, Erudite are always intelligent, and the Dauntless are never cowards but always brave. At first Tris struggles with what faction she wants to be in: Abnegation where she was born or Dauntless where she thinks could be the best place for her. Once she picks, she realizes that all the factions have their own little secrets...and they aren't what they're cracked up to be...

  1. I finished Divergent last week, and I absolutely LOVED it! Great review, Kassie! I will be reading Insurgent as soon as I finish reading all of the other books for my grad class!
