Title: <\/strong>Divergent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author:<\/strong> Veronica Roth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genre:<\/strong> Dystopian fiction. Young adult novel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review by:<\/strong> Chantelle, LCA Intern for Library HQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis:\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>Sixteen year old Tris is forced to make a terrible choice. In a divided society where everyone is slotted into one faction, Tris doesn’t fit in.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So she makes the choice to venture out alone, determined to discover where she belongs in a world where she’s never quite belonged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly Tris can’t trust anyone but herself and a boy she’s drawn to, like a moth to a flame.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review: <\/strong>  Divergent is a Dystopian fiction that quickly draws the reader into a world dressed up to look pretty and functioning, but on the inside it’s a whole other story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world as we know it is broken down into sections. Five different sections based on separate strengths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for Beatrice she’s never felt like she belongs to one faction and one alone. She’s never been as selfless as her brother, or as kind as her mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s just been…Tris. So when it is time for her to make a choice, and decide which faction she thinks she belongs to…She chooses one nobody expected of her. Dauntless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The road ahead is rocky and dangerous. It’s laborious and intense. It’s a slippery journey as she finds friends, discovers who she is, and learns to know her enemies as well- if not better than she knows herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the reader travels through a world almost as corrupt as the real world,  we learn, as Tris herself learns,  that not everything that meets the eye is the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 And right by her side, watching over her like nobody else could, is a boy named Four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together they must fight to find the truth and work through dark, twisted fears. Side by side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divergent is part of a series written by Veronica Roth. An action based book with a sprinkle of romance that entrances you to a world unlike any you’ve ever seen. If you enjoy this series fit for young adults, be sure to check out The Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
