Not the best book I've ever read, but better than some. This is a decent book to read if you like "romantic" dystopian novels with cliques. There were reviews about this book saying that the romance was so strong, and that the characters were so amazing, but I do not agree very much with those statements. Though, I do like the fact that each faction is a different part of speech. I do, however, like how the faction names(Dauntless, Amity, Erudite, Abnegation, and Candor) can easily roll off the tongue and sound nice. 

SpoilerI honestly don't like how Tris basically hated Marcus just from being in Tobias' fear landscape, seeing as she hasn't gotten to understand or know Marcus yet.

Pretty much how I remember the movie. Still very well written. The world building is well done and I just really like the focus on personality traits and how we all are a bit divergent in that sense. There were some scenes towards the end that were so fast paced to the point where I didn't really feel the character's emotions or what was happening didn't seem as big as it should've been.

The Divergent series was built on such an interesting concept and was written well. Veronica Roth is a talented author and has published some of my favorite stories.

This is the best book I’ve ever read in my entire life and it will stay that way forever. Divergent made me fall in love with reading. Of all the books I’ve read, Tris is one of the only character I can relate to so she’s special to me. Moreover, I love Four with my whole heart. I love the story, the plot and the dialogues. I love the parts I hate, (because some scenes that are meant to be hated and they are well done). 
So, thank you, V. Thank you for writing the 14-year-old me her favorite book… it is still my favorite book, more than 5 years later.

I know I'm 10 years late but I finally started this trilogy.
I thought I would hate it because I'm kind of over YA dystopian trilogies. But to my utter surprise I actually really enjoed it. 
The division of society into fractions based on character traits is not the most original idea but I just went with it and I liked the way the plot progressed throughout the book. I liked the evaluation of the characters at the beginning to find out in which fraction they belong, absolutely loooooved the training aspect which made up the majority of the book. Liked the characters and their dynamics. Four is my new all time favourite, protect him at all costs. But I was so surprised that I didn't find Tris annoying, I actually liked her a lot too. Same with the romance plot. That was actually pretty cute and so well done. There were some things that were pretty obvious from the beginning but some of the twists actually surprised me, mostly because I had NO idea where the plot was going.... 
The weakest part was probably the world building for me so I'm curious if this will be exploed a little more in the next book(s).
