Veronica Roth expertly puts the characters to work in this book. Beatrice Prior is a sixteen year old girl, which means that it is almost time for the choosing ceremony. She starts out in the Abnegation faction. There are five factions, Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. These are the factions that you can choose from. This is the choice that Beatrice has to make. Before you can choose which one you belong to, you have to take what is called the aptitude test. This test shows you which faction you are most like, only Beatrice didn't get one. Her results were marked as incomplete. She had aptitude for three factions. This is really unheard of. This makes her divergent. Only this is extremely dangerous, some one is trying to kill the divergent for some unknown reason. Beatrice chooses Dauntless where she starts her training for the initiate tests. The first part of the test? Jumping on and off a moving train. As she completes her training she begins to fall in love with one of her trainers, Four. Then things start to go wrong. The factions start falling apart. The erudite are injecting people with these serums that let the erudite control their actions, it puts them in a simulation. They are unwillingly becoming soldiers. But what can they do? This war has only just begun.
I absolutely loved divergent. It was so different, and I love books about dystopian societies. They are just so different. Veronica Roth masters the characters in this book. She gives them personality, and so much emotion that you begin to choose which characters are your favorite and you start to move with them. There are a bunch of characters in this book, but only a few main ones. There is Tris/Beatrice who is the focus of the book. She is sixteen and she is a divergent. There is Four, he is a Dauntless instructor, about eighteen years old. As the story progresses so does his relationship with Tris. We also have Caleb, he is Tris' brother and he is an abnegation that switches to erudite. We also have Peter, he is also a Dauntless initiate like Tris. He is very aggressive and is one of the top people in Dauntless training.
There are just so many things I liked about this book that I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll start with some quotes. "That is death - shifting from 'is' to 'was'." I liked this quote because it is so true. That is really when death starts to set in. When you can no longer say, oh so and so IS great, you have to change it to so and so WAS great. That is just a really true quote in the book that I loved.
There is another quote that I really liked. "I believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another." I liked this because I also believe in that. It is helping some one out with the little things that really makes the difference in their life. It can make some ones life a whole lot better or easier if you take courage and help them.
I loved this book so freaking much. I've said that so many times now. I would recommend this book to all people. It is a great read that you will never want to put down, and will be so sad when it ends. This book is different from most; it talks about putting people in a certain area, fenced in by their personalities because there is "something else" on the outside. It is amazing.
