Book Review: Divergent

I know the Divergent series are starting to make their way to the big screen and many people want to read the books, but aren't sure if they are any good. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I read the series a couple of years ago and couldn't put the book down. My head was constantly behind the book with my bedroom door shut as I took an adventure through Tris' life as a divergent. Divergent  series is a young adult novel by Veronica Roth. This novel takes place in a dystopian world where there is 5 factions in which 16 year olds are placed after taking a test that determines where they will fit the best. One has to dedicate the rest of their lives in their given faction.The 5 factions are Candor(the honest), Dauntless(the brave), Amity (the peaceful), Abnegation(the selfless), and the Erudite(the intelligent). However, Tris isn't like the rest, she's divergent. Divergent people are in serious danger and are often immediately put to death. Tris must keep the secret and  be aware of who  her true friends are as she chooses Dauntless as her faction and tries to live a normal life. If you are going through a  Hunger Games withdrawal(yes, I did), then you will most likely enjoy Divergent. You will fall in love with the well created characters who are real and you can feel what they are feeling. Divergent is action packed and will never cease to keep you occupied and your heart racing.
