This edition was published in 2011 by Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers in New York.
Written in English
‘Divergent’ is the first in a trilogy of dystopian, YA novels by Veronica Roth. The book is written from Beatrice Prior’s (Tris), point of view and is written in short chapters making it easy to put down and pick up again.
The story is fast paced with full on action throughout. It contains elements of humour and romance, alongside some seriously brutal scenes, especially during Tris’s initiation. There is also quite a few though provoking moments.
This was one of the first YA novels that I read and I found myself hooked right through to the very last word.
The scenes are described in detail giving you a clear picture and making it easy to visualise the on goings in your head.
Tris can be a little moody at times and doubts herself too much, but this only adds to her good nature, fun, determined and strong personality which we see blossom throughout
The ending wasn’t what I expected, thus my need to get the second book, ‘Insurgent’, straight away. I Needed to know what happened next.
I surprisingly found myself enjoying Divergent much more than I first thought I would, and thus my love of YA novels began.
Divergent was made into a movie back in 2014. If you have seen the film but not read the book then you are missing out on vital aspects of the plot and characters, that didn’t appear in the film. I enjoyed the film, just not as much as the book.
