Review: Divergent

Divergent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Written in the first person, Divergent manages to get stuck in with its cast-based system, and pulls no punches in sinking you to the level of their titular character, Tris, going through this system, and struggling to find her place in this world.
For anyone that has seen the film, you might probably breeze through reading this, as the film is surprisingly faithful to the events in the book - although you do wonder whether they just copied and pasted from the book to make that screenplay, but that's going off point a bit!
Divergent is an engaging experience to read through, with a cast of characters and character arcs that come alive whilst reading this novel. A solid book, which will make you want to pick up reading the next instalment as soon as you have finished this.
