Divergent Book

Before I write my thoughts on Divergent, I want to start with a book description by Amazon first before I proceed.
In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

I enjoyed reading this book even though it reminded m a bit of Hunger Games (still different but still on a dystopian theme)  The Choosing ceremoney reminded me a bit of Sorting Hat in Harry Potter series, LOL  It is interesting how factions are identified and you find yourself wondering which one you fit into or would have chosen.  Amity Faction reminds me a lot of Switzerland's government.  This book is for young adults but anyone older can read it.  Lionsgate has already picked up this book for a movie. (movie release 2015)   If you miss reading something kinda like Hunger Games, then read this book.

I am currently reading Insurgent now.  So far, its good!

Happy reading!
