This book was amazing!!!!! I had so many emotions. Damn you Veronica Roth, seriously need to read the next one :)

Beatrice is a young 16 year old girl about to go into her test to determine where she will spend the rest of her life:

Will it be Erudite?
Dauntless?
Amity?
Candor?
Abnegation?

Or could she be all of them?

Divergent.

SOOOO MANY EMOTIONS. I still can't get the second book because my dad doesn't want to, so im just crying onto my pillow.
Beatrice is so kick-butt. I LOVEEEE FOUR/TOBIAS. Tobias is also kick-butt, but both of them are (view spoiler) and
they are amazing. the book itself is a rollercoaster. And if you like dystopian books you'll love divergent.
It hurt to put it down. The dystopian world Veronica Roth made sense. I though i had a feeling she would choose dauntless, its o ...more

This book was AMAZING!!! I absolutely loved the characters and how life like they felt to me. I could never put it down. I made extremely weird noises. And my heart was broken then stitched together only to be broken once again and stitched up once more. I fell in love with this book right away!

I absolutely loved Roth's writing technique. I feel like she ended her chapters really well and always kept me sitting on the edge of my seat.

I absolutely loved Roth's writing technique. I feel like she ended her chapters really well and always kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. There are not a lot of books that I read that I don't predict the ending of. This book had me feeling one emotion, and then changing in five seconds flat. As soon as I thought I had it all figured out, there would be yet another plot twist. Overall, it was one of the best books I have ever read.

I know I tend to enjoy everything I read for different reasons but, I never read a published futuristic book quite like this. I feel like the story was very well thought out and it flowed very naturally for me. It was extremely realistic which I enjoyed and it had no paranormal beings. If anything I would take out some of the violence. Don't get me wrong, I love a good fight and some deaths here and there, but there a couple times where I though to myself..." That I could have lived without." Though, I feel like it just made it more realistic in the sense that, that is what our world is becoming and I can see it turning out as bad as that.

I feel like I could really relate to the characters. I know some people will fin that some are too whiny or vulnerable or they feel like they would have done it differently and I totally respect that. I for one, did not find anything I disliked about any of the characters. I found that their motives were realistic, there thought and actions are what I can see people doing in the moment at those certain circumstances and I feel like this book could have seriously been written based on true events. I, absolutely LOVED Four. I found his sarcasm charming, his bitterness attractive and over all, it was like he was a magnet pulling me towards him. I loved his whole, bad boy side as well as the sweet, nice, serious young boy he hid inside. I found his character amazing and had to remind myself that he wasn't real several times.

I really like the whole idea about them wanting power and what they do in order to get it. Again, very realistic.

This book was I swear the best book I have ever read, and I didn't think anything would beat twilight. I am a little scared about what I will do when the series finishes, or even when I am done the second and waiting for the third.

I fell in love with this book. I loved pretty much everything about it. I recommend it to pretty much anyone! (Please do not think you won't like it because I said I like twilight and you don't. I think what got me so hooked on twilight was the romance between Edward and Bella. That's it. I did notice the occasional flaw in their character but hey, even fictional people aren't perfect. I loved twilight but just because you didn't doesn't necessarily mean you won't like this so...please give it a try. :) if you have read this book and didn't like it, I totally respect that. I understand there are some things I loved apt hat others won't like. That fine. This is strictly my opinion.)

Yayayay for divergent. Loved it. I would probably start crying if I didn't know that insurgent was waiting in my bookshelves for me to read it. <3 I hope you love this book as much as I did! :)

Oh my gosh! I was kind of worried that this book would be a dumb sci-fi romance. NO! It is much more than that! The characters were well developed, and the plot was amazing! Cannot wait for #2!
