Wanted to do a reread of this before I rewatch the movies. 

 I don’t think I loved it as much as I did the first time, but I still had a fun time reading it. I have only read the series once before, although have watched the movies many many times. It’s nice to see and compare the differences.
   When I first read it I remember really liking Four but I wasn’t a fan of him in some scenes this time, (he was out of line and annoyingly rude at times lol) but he ended up being alright in the end and loosening up and I guess that is why I liked his character the first time reading. 
   Now that I’m older I also didn’t really like how Al’s death was discussed… 
   However, just those teeny negatives aside, I think I will always love the Divergent series. Although I didn’t quite get to experience this era at the same age my peers did, it is still nostalgic to me and holds a place in my heart. I haven’t and probably never will leave the dystopian era. 
   I also love the author’s story, how she wrote it in such a short amount of time and voila! 

I will be rereading the 2nd book next year. Now, I am off to rewatch the movies yet again. 🔥

I read divergent in grade 8 for English class but I was scared of most things at the time so I had a difficulty enjoying and remembering what happened so I decided to reread it again now years later, and four and tris relationship awwww I love them, can’t wait to continue the series

i never actually read the divergent books when they were "popular" so to say, however after seeing the trailer for the new  hunger games all i've craved is some sort of dystopian fiction that reminds me of when i was younger and this perfectly fulfilled that craving. not only did it do so but it also got me out of my reading slump.

as for the book it's self, i liked it more than i thought i would. there's so many parts where i couldn't put it down and i really like seeing the inner turmoil in characters during choosing day and the aptitude test and then following along to see the consequences of their choices. some of the things that were revealed were so unexpected which was crazy. i also enjoyed that the love story isn't a focal point but at some parts it was to the point where i almost forgot it was even a thing. but overall these are very minor flaws that did not change my mind. 5/5 from me
