Divergent - Veronica Roth - Complete

I rather enjoyed reading this one - it took me a few chapters to really get into it on an addicted level - but once I did, I didn't really stop reading it. I am even more excited to watch the movie now and see how it was interpreted into a motion picture. 

I liked the characters. I thought they were simple (as in, simple personalities, characteristics etc), but still realistic and engaging. I think with all the things that happen though, it would have made more sense if Tris was a little older. She's 16 in the book. I think even if she was 17 or 18, it would have been better. 

I must admit, being a Divergent doesn't seem as special as I thought it was supposed to be - in the way that by the end of the book, there were actually several who were 'Divergent'. 

But still an awesome concept. It does remind me slightly of the Hunger Games - with the different Factions, created to maintain peace amongst a broken world. The politics and thirst for power is also very similar. But still not similar enough to actually compare it to the Hunger Games in any way really. 

I am looking forward to beginning Insurgent! 

I would give this one 4/5 - I really enjoyed it :)
