I'd been enthralled with this in high school but returning to it as an adult is... interesting. I didn't care about Tris the entire book, and found myself only invested when the story involved Four. The writing felt contrived and a lot of the concept was just really cringey, especially with Tris not knowing what the word Divergent meant for two-thirds of the book. World building was nice though.

I absolutely loved this book! I read 427 pages in ONE day and finished the book, that's how much I loved it. Would recommend.

Read for the first time when I was 13, an edit came up on my fyp and I thought I would re read again, even though now I mostly don't gravitate towards YA fiction. I regret nothing. 13 year old me had good taste.

Honestly the writing was pretty bad at some points. Plot was somewhat entertaining but also didn’t really make sense. Tris annoyed and confused me.

This book is great for people who like fictional worlds and intriguing plot twists. It’s full of action, and I read it in 4 days.

It has been a long time since I read a book I would love so much. Fantasy, dystopian, it's all so welcoming. The world created might be dangerous, but the way the author writes, makes me feel like I would have given up everything to be in that place. Not only the world created is stupendous, but the characters are so lovable that I'd do anything to replace someone from the book (not people like Peter though).  The aura, the longing for something romantic, the ecstatic feeling when something goes in Tris's or Four's favor and the emotional hurt when someone good dies out of bravery or because of that Jeanine is just so overwhelming that I could not just keep it down and read for hours not thinking about anything, but the book. This book was just PERFECT!

adventurous dark emotional medium-paced

I read this book when I was 12 and loved it, and now reading it again when I'm 20 I still love it. Now I'm old enough to grasp the sexual tension and have a much better understanding of some more adult concepts presented in the novel.
