#0109A Divergent - Veronica Roth

I would have never heard about this book if it weren't for Goodreads. Divergent was rated 2011's best book on Goodreads. It's a distopian book and a young adult book, so obviously I had to read it.

The main character,Beatrice, lives in a world where all people are divided by five factions. Each faction is based on virtues like being honest (all the time), selfless, brave, peaceful, and intelligent. Your faction tells you how to act, who your friends are and what job you can have. When you turn 16 years old you have a to make the most decision of your life. You can either stay in the faction you were born into, or you can choose a different faction. 

This book is great and I really enjoyed reading it. The weird thing to me is that I can usually tell what choices a character is going to make is most things. Beatrice chose everything the exact opposite of what I would have chosen so it was harder for me to become the character. I'm never an outsider while reading. I become the main character most of the time. This book, I did not. There is no way I could have survived all the initiations that Beatrice had to go through. I suppose I might have ruined the beginning of the book for you, but really? Could you not tell that she chose a faction that was completely different that hers? 5 stars This is also another series that I'm reading that isn't finished yet. I have to wait until Fall of 2013 to get my hand on the final book.
