    Advantages Advantages Well-written, amazing plot, compelling characters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None!

    To say that Veronica Roth's debut novel 'Divergent' has exploded into the world of Young Adult fiction would be a severe understatement. Since its release in 2011, the novel's success and popularity has enabled Roth to make a name for herself among readers of this genre, and this only increased when the second book of the trilogy, 'Insurgent', was released earlier this year. I am not a big fan of the Young Adult genre, mainly because ever since the release of Twilight it seems to have been taken over by novels of a similar kind - and I tend to steer well clear of these. However, one of my ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent story, likeable main character, gripping, original

    Disadvantages Disadvantages End of chapters don't offer a cliff hanger

    Regular readers of my reviews will be aware that after reading the Hunger Games trilogy in a fairly short space of time, I hit a book slump and sulked for a few months. Finding a book or even a trilogy which you adore is heavenly, it’s after that is the problem, where nothing comes close and the average turns into mundane. Reading turns into a chore. I was desperately seeking something to take over the Hunger Games and had been scouring the net looking for a recommendation of some kind that could take me back to that elation that I felt every time I picked up one of the 3 Hunger Games books. I ... more

    Advantages Advantages Exciting, fantastically written, fast paced, breath taking plot, gripping etc etc

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It finished and now I have to wait for the sequel

    Set in a Dystopian Chicago, where society is divided into five factions each representing a particular virtue, 16 year-old Beatrice Prior is about to decide her fate for the rest of her life, by choosing the faction she will belong to. There's Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent) and the idea behind the system is that dividing people like this, the world will be a better place. Government members come only from Abnegation for example, as they are selfless and therefore their priority will be the good of the ... more

    Advantages Advantages amazing story, amazing characters, sucks you in

    Disadvantages Disadvantages dont read when youve got a lot on!

    There is so so much hype about this book across the blogosphere and for a while I wasn’t sure to believe it. I love dystopians and I liked the sound of this one but something about it put me off… something made me think that Divergent wasn’t for me. Until I started reading it and couldn’t actually put it back down… that’s my own fault though… I was warned!!I was totally wrong by thinking Divergent wasn’t for me. I honestly thought that it sounded like nothing special and that Tris was a bit boring… but man I finished this and shouted at myself for thinking that it was gunna be the same sh*t ... more
