Review: A Thrilling Start to an Awesome Trilogy - First things first, while many gave only One Star, most gave it between Three - Five Stars. The way I rate what I read is to Start with Five Stars and deduct from there. I found this Book without the usual reasons I deduct stars so I gave it the full Five Stars. To date, I have only given a total of Six 1 Star reviews, this one won't be added to that (short) list. I originally started reading this series because of my daughter. I find at times the lack of either swearing or sexual promiscuity in YA novels and books refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I love a book regardless of swearing or sexual descriptions. If you've ever read a Matt Shaw book, you know what I mean (I have almost everything he's ever written). That said, on to my review. Beatrice Prior's world is divided into five factions. When a teen reaches a certain age, they are tested for faction placement, then given the chance to join a fraction of their own choosing. Most stay in the same faction all their lives. The tests have been so fine tuned they are never wrong, and only give one result, that is until Beatrice Prior takes hers (Tris). Her test is immediately erased and manually keyed in by the test instructor, who mysteriously whispers she is divergent, and to tell NO one about her results, not even her parents. So come initiation day, Beatrice shocks the entire community, when she chooses Dauntless. The only faction where brave, reckless thrill seekers are free to be different (to a point) is unlike any other faction, it's also the best place for her to hide her differences, to keep her secret. Because in her world, what makes you different makes you dangerous. There's so much more I could say, but anything else after these first, beginning chapters, and I would be heading into spoiler territory. So I will stop here, you will just have to read the book to find out the rest. The Characters were well developed, with enough of background information slowly being revealed as the story progresses (instead of a lump amount that forces you to skip pages out of detail-boredom) allows you to become emotionally invested with the characters and their lives. The storyline was well thought out, keeping you captivated as events unfold. By the time you reach the end of the first book, you are completely and emotionally invested with the main and secondary characters and can't wait to start the next book in this trilogy. Keep in mind it is a trilogy so there is a lot of unanswered questions and loose ends, not to mention the cliffhanger ending. Still, I finished this first in the trilogy in a little over a day. The world the characters live in is so believable, if it weren't for an overwhelming need to get up and stretch my legs, I probably would've read all night and beyond until I finished this first book, then continuing on to the next two, completed the entire series (the blessing and curse of buying the complete trilogy bundle). First Book? Definitely a Highly Recommended read. NOTE: I purchased this book as part of the "The Divergent Series [Complete Collection] Bundle." It's the Perfect way to not only have the completed Trilogy in one place, but will save you money in the long run as well. A portion of this review is also at the Kindle Store's Complete Trilogy page as well.
Review: Excellent Action Filled Dystopian - For more of my reviews visit [...] Title: Divergent Author: Veronica Roth Rating - 4.5 out of 5 stars Ok, sorry that this one is a bit late. I spent some of yesterday re-reading this one again so that I could give a truly accurate review. This does not contain many true spoilers but I do give a few things away so if you really don't want to know anything about it you may want to read it first... This was an excellent Dystopian. I know that Dystopians are very popular right now and you might feel like you have Dystopian fatigue, but if you have to sort through them and pick only a few, I recommend Divergent. What is astonishing is that this was a debut novel by Veronica Roth, a college student, and while it is not perfect (what is), it is an extremely engaging read. I even think the label Young Adult is only partially true in this case because it is an excellent read for those who would enjoy an adult Dystopian as well (like Brave New World). (I kind of feel the same way about Eden's Root at times, but this one even more so.) Synopsis Tris (Beatrice) lives in what was once the Chicago area and she comes from one of five factions that were created following some type of significant or possibly apocalyptic war. Her faction is Abnegation, those who believe man's best quality is selflessness. The members of the Abnegation faction are the political leaders of the entire society as it is believed that the selfless make the best rulers. They live simply and without many material comforts and are resented by some of the other factions which include: Amity (the kind), Erudite (the intellectual), Candor (the honest), and the Dauntless (the brave). In their teens, all children are asked to make a life changing decision and it is no different for Tris. They first take a series of aptitude tests which are really just mental simulations. In 99% of cases, children's reactions to the simulations are consistent with the faction in which they've been raised. So for Tris, she is expected to have responses consistent with Abnegation. Instead she has responses consistent with three factions, only one of which is Abnegation. It's determined that she could fit into Erudite and Dauntless as well, a level of mental flexibility that is unusual in their society. Tris' true designation following the test is kept hidden from everyone by the test administrator who tells her that she is what is called 'Divergent', and it is a very dangerous thing to be. Though the factions were created in the hopes of stopping any future war, there are tensions between factions that are simmering. Being a person with a mental 'grey area' makes Tris a target for those with bad intentions. The Real Reason Tris Chose the Dauntless... On the day of her choice, Tris is torn between her desire to please her family and stay in Abnegation with them and her desire to please herself. Whatever faction a teen chooses is final and it is a choice that supersedes their family. This means that once you join a different faction. you must leave your family behind. In the moment of choice Tris chooses to join the Dauntless. When her little brother Caleb also chooses to leave Abnegation for the Erudite, the die is cast. The scenes in the book that come as Tris works to find acceptance among the Dauntless are quite literally exhilirating. You can feel the newfound sense of freedom that Tris gains as she hurls herself from moving trains, off building ledges and down 100 story zip lines. And you root for her over those who are stronger and meaner in her initiate class because you sense that there are two kinds of Dauntless, the brave and the simply cruel, and you are rooting for the brave. This disparity is best illustrated by the power struggle between the two main Dauntless leaders that you get to know: Eric and Four. Eric is strong and he is in charge, but his strength is derived mostly from cruelty. Four is strong and kind, but has chosen not to be the person in the highest position of power, opting to train new initiates instead. Four and Tris are drawn to each other as she maneuvers her way through the incredibly vicious and occasionally insane steps of Dauntless initiation. Though Tris believes that her main challenge is to perform well enough to be kept amongst the Dauntless rather than being kicked out to join the helpless, hopeless ranks of those without a faction, the truth goes much deeper. When her seemingly perfect 'Abnegation' mother visits her at the Dauntless compound on visiting day to give her a message, Tris begins to learn the extent of the discontent amongst the factions. The leader of the Erudite is publishing a nonstop stream of vitriol against the Abnegation and Tris' father and other prominent leaders in particular. Her intent seems to be to incite revolution. Tris' mother warns her and urges her to go visit her brother in Erudite to give him an important message. When Tris does, she is swept up into the factions' political wrangling without a full understanding of it. On the day of initiate acceptance into the various factions, the power grab of the Erudite begins. Tricked by unscrupulous members of their own faction, the Dauntless are transformed mindless slaves. The only reason that the plot becomes obvious to Tris is because she is Divergent and the mind control does not work on her. It is also the moment that the true evil of the plan reveals itself. In the end, it is up to Tris to save both the Dauntless and the Abnegation. If she is Dauntless enough, she will succeed. If not, she will watch everything she loves be destroyed... Coming in May - Insurgent This book is the first in a Trilogy, which I did not totally realize when I first read it. The main issue I have with it (and the only reason for docking a half star) is that the backstory is not well explained. Of course, it is not really necessary in order to fully enjoy the story, but there are times that you think, "Hey, what about the rest of the world? Are the only survivors in the world in the Chicago area?" You also want to know what caused the great war that resulted in the creation of the factions. It seems like the behaviors of the factions are very extreme and you wonder about the direness of the circumstances of the war that would lead to such extremes. Finally, you want to know why, while some factions have technologies like mind control and hover cars, others (the Dauntless) live in partially underground caverns or worse (the factionless) survive like the modern day homeless, eking out life in the ruins of Chicago. It seems like a disparity that is hard to quite get. Of course, real-life class disparity has always been a difficult thing to understand and perhaps that actually helps to contribute to the sense of realism in the story. Regardless, in the end, like everyone else, I loved Divergent and I am very much looking forward to INSURGENT, her next book, which is coming out in May.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***A on March 16, 2021*

"Divergent" is a fiction book that tells the story of a sixteen-year-old teenager, called Beatrice, who lives in a world that is divided in 5 factions. Each faction has a principal to follow, Abnegations are selfless, Dauntless are brave, Amity are kind, Erudites are intelligent and Candors are true. When teenagers turn sixteen they have to go through a test to see which faction they belong to and then choose one independently of their test results. Beatrice's test had unusual results,though and then the story begins. The plot may seem quite far-fetched, but the author makes it become true with her incredible skill for describing scenes and to capture the characters' emotions. It is full of action, romance and bravery, and there is always a new thing you discover at the end of each chapter. When you start reading this book you'll never want to stop. The movie that was made based on the story is really similar to the book, but the author's descriptions and the essence she puts in Tris (Beatrice) makes the story itself much better. I definitely rcommend this book for people who like action stories and romance, for anyone actually, because you can find some characteristics of different literary genres throughout the plot.
