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.

so good!!!! recommend to anybody

Love it love all of it but I admit I cried at the end of the last book... I was like, WHY WOULD TRIS DIE? SHE WAS JUST AN AMAZING YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS READY TO RISK HER LIFE WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE! PICK PETER INSTEAD! ( sorry spoilers! ) tho this isn't the no.1 book that I like, it sure had a huge impact on me. I think I would chose Amitty cuz I'm peace loving and love FLOWER POWER!

To be honest, I think this book series is very overrated. While the idea of "factions" is intriguing, the setting leaves a lot to be desired. Tris's character is interesting, and her romance with Tobias is okay. I had to force myself to finish the book. The first book is by far the best. Insurgent isnt worth reading. The plot is unclear and choppy, and the writing style is pretty boring. Don't even get me started on Allegiant. The last book seemed like Veronica Roth just wrote it just to get another book out and make more money and finish the series. The point of view is uninteresting, and the "twist" at the end is expected and to be honest, not even that great of a twist. I'm a very emotional book-reader, and I didn't even feel bad. The first book is decent, but don't read the rest of the series for your own good. I recommend "Monument 14" if you want a good dystopian thriller with romance and action.

This is an awesome book. I would definatly reccomand it to all kids who love to read.

The book and movie for Divergent is amazing.There divided into factions,and the teenagers of those fractions have to choose which faction they would like to go to or stay in. Tris is a divergent,but she doesn't know what it really means. Sence she's a divergent she shouldn't have chose to be Dauntless.I would explain the whole book,but I strongly believe you should read the book to find out everything.Writing a review would spoil it.I love this book so much.

I LOVE this book and the rest of them. I would give it infinite stars but I guess 5 is fine!

LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it was really good but i didn't "love it!" So............yea! Sorry the people who loved it but i didn't think it was amazing i thought it was not so good! And i thought the movie was way way better than the book! i am not so sorry for saying that because it is true! In my opinion. So if any of you guys are on my side like my comment and reply! If u are;t you can still reply! Again sorry if I hurt your feelings! I don't know why they had to go to war and don;t call me a hater or i will call Taylor Swift and she will come to your house and sing "Mean" to you and u will feel super bad! I know Taylor because I am her favorite cousin! She is such a good singer! I love when she sings "Happy Birthday" to me! It sounds wonderful! So........ you guys might not want to mess with me because I got Taylor on my side! Also, if you are one of those people who love Taylor an goes to her concerts and said i was a hater or etc. And then you go to her concerts she will call her security guards and they will kick you and if anyone else is with you they will kick them out too!

This is a good book. I watched the movie then read the book. The book was so much better.
