I know maybe it’s too late to write reviews about this book. The movie release date was almost long time ago so was even more the book is already successful worldwidely. Currently (before reading divergent), I’m not interested to read any novel, I prefer articles or non-fiction books, that’s why it was hard to get started reading this kinda book. Then guess what?? DIVERGENT is beyond AWESOMENESS!

 First pages were not that interesting for me as I still didn’t get used to really sink deeply into Veronica Roth’s imagination about factions. However, the words she chose to describe things and situations are light and neat that makes my eyes couldn’t get rid off its each pages. The further the story goes, the more exciting, curious, and more awesome it becomes. Unless my eyes were dry and hurt, maybe I wouldn’t stop reading it until the end especially starting from the chapter when Tobias confesses his love to Tris.

I believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.

I don’t know how to tell the whole book story in a short way just to describe roughly the content of divergent (in case you haven’t read or watched the movie yet), because it’s complicating. I suggest you to watch the trailers on youtube. The movie and the book are both awesome. Let me try:

The world is divided into 5 factions, so when teenagers turn 16, they will choose which faction they belong in that will decide how the rest of their life will be. Nah, it’s not as simple as that. Lol

After reading Divergent, I can’t wait to read Insurgent, the 2^nd book in divergent trilogy. So far, Divergent is a highly recommended novel, a 5-star book.
