This first book in Veronica Roth's #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy is the novel the inspired the major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Kate Winslet. This dystopian series set in a futuristic Chicago has captured the hearts of millions of teen and adult readers.

Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and Maze Runner series, Divergent and its sequels, Insurgent and Allegiant, are the gripping story of a dystopian world transformed by courage, self-sacrifice, and love. Fans of the Divergent movie will find the book packed with just as much emotional depth and exhilarating action as the film, all told in beautiful, rich language.

One choice can transform you. Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring factions. Her choice will shock her community and herself. But the newly christened Tris also has a secret, one she's determined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous.

And don't miss Veronica Roth’s thrilling novel Carve the Mark.

It is the best book ever!!!!!!

I need 2 read this! I know bits & pieces, & it sounds awesome! LOL:)

How many traits do you have? What would you do if you weren't allowed to have more than one? Divergent by Veronica Roth is a very exciting book because people are only allowed to have one of these traits: selflessness, intelligence, honesty, peace, or courage. This book is set in Chicago, and in the future. People who have these traits were divided into factions. Abnegation is selflessness, Erudite is intelligence, Candor is honesty, Amity is peace, and Dauntless is courage. The protagonist, Beatrice Prior, was born into Abnegation. During her aptitude test, the test that shows which faction you should join, she shows equal aptitude for Erudite, Abnegation, and Dauntless. People like this are called Divergent, and they are considered dangerous. This is one of the conflicts in this book. Beatrice chooses Dauntless and becomes an initiate, and this is how she tries to resolve the conflict. Jeanine, the leader of Erudite and the antagonist, has an evil plan that involves Dauntless and Abnegation. That's another conflict. I loved this book because I love books that have a dystopian future, and I would recommend the book to anyone who loves books set in the future.

Great book!!!! My favorite.
