Divergent- Started and Finished

I have heard so much about this series from friends recently that I decided to read it myself. And...umm... I finished it in 3 hours on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Needless to say, I had a lot of time on Monday.


I loved this book! The setting is in a dystopian world, where almost everyone is divided into 5 different factions, each dedicated to a particular trait: Abnegation (selflessness), Candor (honesty), Dauntless (bravery), Erudite (intelligence), and Amity (peacefulness). I thought the setting was very creative and unique, and it really contributed to the story. The main character, Beatrice Prior, is faced with a difficult decision- staying with her family in Abnegation, or being who she really is and leaving the faction. Throughout the book, she faces many physical and mental challenges, some with devastating consequences.

I don't want to give things away, so I'm going to stop talking about the plot now.

If you are reading my post, you should definitely check this book out! I just started Insurgent, which is the next book in the series.
