This first book in Veronica Roth's #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy is the novel the inspired the major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Kate Winslet. This dystopian series set in a futuristic Chicago has captured the hearts of millions of teen and adult readers.

Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and Maze Runner series, Divergent and its sequels, Insurgent and Allegiant, are the gripping story of a dystopian world transformed by courage, self-sacrifice, and love. Fans of the Divergent movie will find the book packed with just as much emotional depth and exhilarating action as the film, all told in beautiful, rich language.

One choice can transform you. Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring factions. Her choice will shock her community and herself. But the newly christened Tris also has a secret, one she's determined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous.

And don't miss Veronica Roth’s thrilling novel Carve the Mark.

love it til i die

This is an amazing book and I highly recommend it. Divergent is full of twists and betrayal. This book is a combination of The Hunger Games and The Harry Potter series.

This book is LIT! I couldn't stop reading until I was done. This book is awesome and I would strongly recommend this book If u like suspense,action,and romance :)

I still have aways to go but so far it is a really good book.

Beatrice Prior is from Abnegation, the faction that's main belief is selflessness. In Beatrice's society, there are 5 factions total, each with a different belief. Candor values honesty, Erudite values intelligence, Dauntless values courage, Amity values peacefulness, and Abnegation values selflessness. Every year, 16 year olds chose, on Choosing Day, whether they want to stay in the faction they grew up in or leave their family for a new faction. Beatrice decides to **semi spoiler** leave her faction and changes her name to Tris. In her new faction, Tris has to make it through initiation before she becomes a member. Each of the 3 stages of initiation prepares Tris and the other initiates forblife in their new faction. Will Tris make it through initiation? If she does, will she be ranked high enough to stay? And what will happen if someone finds out about Tris's real test results? And what about Four, the handsome, intimidating training leader? Divergent is a thrilling adventure, in a future similar to Hunger Games and the Selection, about strength, love, and the most important pieces of our lives-our beliefs and intentions.

10/10 The sudden romance and rivalry stand out. Goodness I love the plot twist Although Peter is too full of himself. It certainly isn't Edwards fault for his insanity later on.
