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.

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.

The book is my favorite book because of how it shows that we can not all be perfect and we cant all be what we want to be some time but we can try to be the best us we can be.
yes. this is my favorite book ever. once you start reading it you cant stop. tris is amazing!
I read book 1 and 2 in less then 2 days! It was really good. It was pretty similar to HG but I also love that book so that's fine with me!
It doesn't seem like the book for me
This was an amazing book that I definitely think deserves all the hype its gotten. Not only are the characters amazing, but you immediatly find yourself in love with the plot, the action, and the romance. I loved the fast-paced events in this book, and I always felt as though I was taking a step deeper into Tris`s thoughts as she made decisions and became a new person through the journey of this book. I fell in love with so many lovable and dangerous people in this book, and felt terrified, excited, doubtful, and surprised at the reckless and courageous Beatrice that progressed throughout this story. Five Stars. No doubt. Go read it now. Enough said.
In Divergent, Beatrice Prior lives in the dystopian world of Chicago. She is sixteen, and it is the time of year when sixteen year olds take an aptitude test and decide what faction they will spend the rest of their life in. Chicago is divided into five factions—Amity, the peaceful, Abnegation, the selfless, Candor, the honest, Dauntless, the brave, and Erudite, the intelligent. But Beatrice is different from the other sixteen-year olds. She fits in with more than one of the factions. She is Divergent, which is rare and dangerous. Beatrice changes her name to Tris when she chooses Dauntless, and learns how to fight and overcome her fears. In an exciting, hooking, coming-of-age story, Tris finds herself fitting in with Dauntless and faces her fears. Divergent amazed me. It is a truly incredible book, and one of the best dystopians I have ever read. It stands out from the others that I have read because it has a different concept, and it is a great new take on the genre. I love the idea of the five factions, and that the setting is in a futuristic version of Chicago. The characters have defining qualities—Four is mysterious, Tris is brave and fearless. There is so much action in this book, and so much suspense that you won’t be able to put it down. I can not wait for the Divergent movie, which is sure to be incredible, and I can’t wait to read more of Veronica Roth’s books!
Amazing! My favorite part was the stage 2 of initiation. I love the way Tris is portrayed. At times though I have found myself screaming at the book when she doesn't sense a twist. I had Four's real name figured out about 200 pages before the big reveal. It was set up very subtlety (not) in an earlier chapter. Can't wait for the movie!
Great book! Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games !
wow like my entire grade (8th) is reading this book!! It's sooo good! It is about a girl who must choose between the 8 factions that determine which life she will lead, however, she discovers that she does not fit perfectly in any group and is there for DIVERGENT,...
