Divergent: This is the story of Beatrice Prior, and her dystopian world. There are four factions that are all based off of virtues: the Amity (Kindess/Peace), the Dauntless (bravery and strength), Candor (honesty), and Abnegation (selflessness). These four factions help provide for each other in the city, living up to their virtues.
Then there is the Choosing Ceremony. All 16 year olds must choose what faction that they will live in, and dedicate the rest of their lives to it. Before that, there is a test, that determines what faction they will do best in.
Tris goes to the test, and the tester Tori tells her that she is Candor, Abnegation, and Dauntless, in other words, Divergent.
Tori tells Beatrice that being Divergent is very dangerous, and Tori deletes the results. Beatrice has no clue what Divergent is, but she must keep it a secret if she wants to survive.
At the Ceremony, she chooses Dauntless, and chooses a new name. Tris.
In the world of the Dauntless, she must train in hand to hand combat, gun shooting, and to be a Dauntless. There she suffers taunts, injuries, and almost even gets killed.
I'm not spoiling it anymore. ;)
This book is one of my all time favorite series, and Veronica Roth has done an excellent job with this story. Though, there are a few innapropriate parts, so if you can't read that stuff, don't read it. But if you are a huge fan of the Hunger Games, then you'll love this! You'll love it as much as I do if you read it. And don't forget to catch Insurgent, the second book in the Divergent series!
Bye!!
