Divergent by Veronica Roth
Society isn’t always right. But everybody in this society thinks it is.
Tris, or Beatrice, as she starts out, is living in a dystopian society that is oh so corrupt. There are five factions, each having different values. Candor values honesty, Amity values peace and kindness, Erudite intelligence, Abnegation selflessness, and Dauntless bravery. There is a choosing ceremony where sixteen-year-old boys and girls must make a decision that their entire life depends on. They must choose which faction that they will live the rest of their lives in, that is if they even make it. If you don't qualify for your faction at the end of many tests, then you will be factionless.
Tris grows up in Abnegation. But when she gets to the choosing ceremony, she chooses to move to Dauntless. Immedately, the dauntless faction shows what life will be like. They run down the stairs, out to the tracks, and jump on the moving train. If you didn't make it on the train, you are already factionless. When they get there, they have to go through a series of tests and are given a tour. Every day, they have to qualify for different trials in order to be one of the people that make it into the Dauntless faction for the rest of their lives. Tris seems to have trouble fitting in with everyone else. Her old faction was never like what she is doing now. She has to try her hardest in order to even make it on the leaderboard, just barley at the bottom.
This book, I would recommend to anyone that likes any kind of sci-fi and dystopian books. It definitely falls into those categories. It focuses mainly on a messed up society, so it is very appealing to people who think of our society that way or maybe just wants a look into the possible future. It is so interesting to those people because they have found other books like this, such as the hunger games, interesting to them so they would like this book. The book's impression on me was very high. To me, it was very interesting and detailed. It had lots of imagery. This book was very good and was quite a page-turner.
