Divergent: Book Review

Recently I finished reading the book Divergent by Veronica Roth. In my opinion I would say this book is by far one of the best I've ever read. The way the author vividly wrote the story by including detailed descriptions of the characters and settings really brought the book to life, and made it possible for the reader to picture the scenes in their minds. Also all the suspense and surprises in the story make the reader want to keep on reading the book, making it close to impossible to put it down.

So the book Divergent is a dystopia based on the main character Beatrice Prior. The world she lives in requires the children when they turn sixteen to take a test that will determine the rest of their lives. What the test does is determine what faction they would be best suited to. There are five factions; Amity the peaceful, Abnegation the selfless, Erudite the intelligent, Dauntless the brave and Candor the honest. Beatrice lives in the faction of Abnegation with her brother Caleb. Unlike her brother who acted selfless naturally, Beatrice always felt out of place in her own faction. When she turned sixteen and was ready to take her test she hoped that it would finally answer her questions and help her decide who she was destined to be. But when she recieves her test results, they turn out to be nothing like she expected. She finds out that not only would she fit in to one faction, but three. She learns that the people with this ability are called Divergent. And not only are they rare, but they are also considered dangerous and are hunted down by the government. Her decision to hide her divergence and remain in Abnegation with her family or choose another faction hoping to start a new life can change everything. What will she choose?
