Divergent by Veronica Roth

REVIEW BY FARHAN TAMBOLI (YEAR 8)

This book is the first book in the Divergent series. It was written by Veronica Roth and published by Harpercollins. This book was released on the 25th of April 2011 and has 487 pages. This book also has a movie which was released in 10th April 2014 and is 2h 19min.

Beatrice is a 16 year old girl that lives in a world where people are put into 5 factions based on specific faction qualities. There are 5 factions: Amity, Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite and Candor. Can the faction she choose change her life forever?

This book took me by complete surprise. Since the first page this book has kept me engaged until the final page. My favourite part of the book is when Beatrice chooses her faction. My least favourite part is on page 443.

This is only the beginning of this wonderful series and I would recommend all fantasy and romance genre lovers read it. Veronica Roth has made a powerful start to a wonderful series.
