Divergent by Veronica Roth (contains spoilers)

Hey guys so today I am here with my review of Divergent by Veronica Roth, if you don't know what Divergent is, well let me explain so here we go. In the book there are five factions, Abnegation who are the selfless ones, Amity the peaceful ones, Candor the honest ones, Duntless the brave ones and Erudite who are the smart ones, so when you reach the age of sixteen you choose which faction you want to live in, you can either stay with your family in the faction you were born into, or leave them and do your own thing. The story follows sixteen year old Beatrice who has to choose which faction she wants to live in and that's where the story really takes off.
So I had heard a lot about this book and me being me decided, it wasn't going to live up the hype and I put off reading it until a few weeks ago...boy was I wrong, it met my expectations and just raised that bar.

Pros of the book:
  • ·        this book grabbed my attention and didn't realise it until I finished it, I literally finished this book in two days, and I don't know if you've seen the book but it's kind of a big book, It also made me feel every single emotion that the character Beatrice was feeling, weather it was happy, scared or sad
  •            To me the characters develop really well in this book, especially Beatrice, she goes from this kind of unhappy little girl to this wonderful strong independent woman, I think this is the first book in a long time where I instantly loved the main character, usually I hate them at the start and then warm up to them
  • ·        The romance doesn't make you feel sick, unlike a lot of books these days I have to say the romance was really well written, In a lot of books I have been reading recently the romance either makes me feel really sick or really annoyed because it's just unbelievable, in Divergent the romance is so cute, like it made me go "AWWWWWW" and brought the biggest smile to my face
  • ·       It surprised me, finally a book that surprises me at the end instead of having me going "Yup, seen that one coming" I was like "WHAT? WOW! WHAT?" so yes it's nice to be surprised for once


Cons of the book:
I don't have any cons for this book :)

My Rating

So I gave this book five out of five stars on Goodreads, because it is simply amazing, I would highly recommend this book, it is just Amazing and I am currently reading the second one so look out for my review of it which should be up pretty soon
