Divergent is a book about a life inside what they call factions. There are five factions, each representing a different quality in a person. Candor are truthful and they thought the war was because of lies, Abnegation are selfless and they thought the war was because of selfishness, Erudite are the knowledgeable and they thought the war was because of stupidity and not being knowledgeable enough and then there is the Dauntless, who are brave, they thought that the war was because of being scared. At sixteen, you have to choose a faction to live in. They have the saying "faction over blood" which means you have to put your faction first and if you chose to leave your family behind and transfer, there's no going back.
Beatrice Prior and her brother, Caleb, have just turned 16 which means it's time for them to choose. She picks Dauntless, and he picks Erudite, and they both leave their old faction, Abnegation, behind.
I think this was a great book! Veronica Roth did an amazing job in writing it! I feel like the characters are like my best friends now. Tris jumping off of the building first, her kissing Four, and when Tris' mum breaks in tank are my favorite parts in the book. I can't wait till the movie comes out, it's going to be awesome!!!!
I loved this book and you should all read it! If you're under 12 though, you probably shouldn't, you might get confused about one of Tris' fears, or you might not, but still, not recommended!
