Moony 7 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Are there book nerds here? I love reading (children's) books and the recent one I've finished is Divergent by Veronica Roth. It is a lot like Hunger Games without the hunger and the killing game. The main character is a girl named Beatrice and the book's in her point of view, just like Bella without the whining. The setting is like in hunger games, post apocalyptic. The city is divided in factions but they all live together. On a certain age, people are sorted into their own faction. The story comes in when Beatrice' test resulted to more than one compatible faction, hence she's called divergent. The film is already in the making I believe.

Aniki 2,700 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Other than the main character being emotionless, it's a decent book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiedoughhh 72 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 its like the hunger games, only theres a big gap in quality not as complex, characters not well-developed setting not as good, descriptions not good at all not at all a literary work tbh a 14 year-old can write like that. the structure, the vocabulary. 'low-quality' .. but yeah, the story is entertaining, but theres nothing much more to it it could only be a movie, no need for this to be a book when theres not many literary traits to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananabrows 2,169 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hm, I heard good things about Divergent from a couple of friends. I read 6 chapters in B&N, and it's fairly decent. I remember thinking the main character was kinda indecisive and bipolar while reading, but I forget why. On the other hand, Katniss was a terrible main character in The Hunger Games. The plotline just carried her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playgirl 3,298 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I've read it! It's a pretty good book! My friends and I were all obsessed when we first read it. I also own 'Insurgent', I read halfway but never got around to finishing the whole thing. Anyone excited for the movie? I seriously don't know if I'll go watch it. I'm really not into the girl playing Tris and the guy play Four is 28. Dear god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoshiMoshi 10,792 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I agree, it was a really enjoyable read. I liked Insurgent too but there were some glaring continuity problems. One character literally changes genders. I'm still looking forward to the last book though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
