One choice can transform you . . . or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. The B&N exclusive edition contains sixteen pages of never-before-seen excerpts from the Faction Histories that reveal a deeper understanding of daily life within the world of DIVERGENT.
After The Hunger Games ignited my desire for Dystopian novels, I was on the hunt for something to quench my thirst. Divergent was the answer! Author Veronica Roth does an amazing job of creating a world that is believable enough to engulf the reader. This was one of those books that had me up late, aching to know what happened next. The characters are flawed in all the right ways and really display certain aspects of our cultural and societal standings and viewpoints.
The reader gets the chance to learn with the main character, Tris, which I find to be one of the strong points of this book. As Tris chooses her life's path, which is starkly different than what she was raised to become, she must evolve into her faction or risk being banished from society for life. Roth did a fantastic job of making it easy to relate to Tris and follow her on her journey as she learns life lessons. Some of these lessons are hard and it's a nice change of pace from the books that aren't willing to create characters and situations that mimic reality. But do not fear, for what would a great book be without a little romance? Tris finds herself falling for someone that is not altogether safe, making for an exciting twist to the already thrilling ride that is Divergent. This book was a thoughtful take on the Dystopian genre. I am impatiently awaiting the next book in the series, Insurgent!

If you like dystopian young adult books, you'll love Divergent. It stands up to Hunger Games and Legend. It has it's own flavor though. I Loved it!

The new, emerging author, Veronica Roth, will have you on the edge of your seat from the first page. If you enjoy books with action, suspense, and a tad bit of romance, this is definitely the book for you.

This book is indeed just as good as the Hunger Games. I'm not normally a dystopian reader but I enjoyed this book very much and it has a very interesting storyline, especially concerning being "Divergent."
