Divergent, Veronica Roth

I chose this book obviously because absolutely everybody was reading Allegiant and so I decided why not try the series, everyone sounded like they enjoyed it. Right now I am almost done with it I am on page 400 approximately and chapter 31. Truthfully so far in the book I am not really loving it, a lot of people said it was a lot like the hunger games and usually I’m not very picky about books but this book I really just haven’t liked as much as my others. To me it is a lot more dramatic than I expected and a lot more romantic then I expected and I really am not looking for that in a book. In general I like the plot line but all of the small things like romance and drama kind of ruin the book. Can some people tell me if insurgent is a lot like this and if I should read it or not, basing of my view so far.

There are 5 factions in this futuristic dystopian Chicago, Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful) and the Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice is coming from an Abnegation family and she doesn’t feel like she fits in.  When she turns 16 she has to make the decision of which faction she wants to split into. First you have a test and in the test it shows you what factions you want to be in, then you get to make your decision. When Beatrice takes the test she finds out that she is a mix of three different factions, the name of this is a divergent (wow it’s like that’s the name of the book and stuff). She makes her final decision to become one of the dauntless because of their boldness, tattoos and piercings. Will this be the right decision for Beatrice or not, read the book to find out.
