My Opinions: I loved Divergent. The movie just came out and I am glad I read the book before the movie (my sister saw the movie first and is now struggling while reading the book). It is set in a utopian setting where people of this country are divided into five factions: Amity (the peaceful), Dauntless (the brave), Erudite (the intelligent), Candor (the honest), and Abnegation (the selfless). Beatrice is in Abnegation. The book starts out with her and several other teenagers of this society taking a test which will determine what faction they are best suited for. Beatrice is freaking out and Caleb, her brother, seems really cool. Guess what her results come out as? Yup...Divergent (hence the title name). Divergents are considered dangerous. It almost seems as though they have a mind of their own, not conforming to society. The choosing ceremony rolls in and Beatrice must choose her faction. What will it be? After choosing, she is taken through a journey where she learns several secrets, hidden desires, and her fears. FULL of suspense. I read it in 3 hours. Now that is saying something:). I cannot wait to read Insurgent (only about 300th on the library request list...no biggie).
