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.

I absolutely love this book! Everyone who i've recommended it to has agreed. I read it in my book club and was very weary about it but when i started it i found my love for dystopian books. The "factions" in this book are very interesting because you can imagine what faction you would be in, i think I would be in Erudite because i love school. I couldn't be in Candor because I can tell lies easily and i couldn't be in Dauntless because I am not fearless.

almost like the hunger games but completely different at the same time. simply the best book I've ever read and highly recommended. As always it's about a fight for what's right and the people of a future chicago

AMAZING I love the book it's *tear* the best ever

I love this book so much!!!!

Great book I highly recommend it! Genre - Futuristic mixed with reality Gripping,romantic and action filled 👍

Divergent is one of the best books I've ever read. It is a little bit like the hunger games, but I find it even better. If you haven't read this book yet, it is DEFINITELY a must read! i think that it is suitable for sixth graders and up because there is some minor violence in it, but its not that graphic.
