I'm going to start off by saying that I love Movie Companion books. I love looking behind the movie to see how they're made, how they're casted, and any other lit tidbit I can soak up. This one was no different. I loved Divergent and was actually impressed with the movie. What I liked about the companion was that it explained the transfer from book to screen from a visual aspect. Veronica Roth herself has said that she's not a very descriptive person and that was lacking in Divergent. The companion talked a lot about how the director created the world with little to go on but tried to stay true to what Roth had already created - especially concerning costumes and living quarters. I'm always fascinated by the process of film making so I revel in anything that can further my obsession and these companions do exactly that.

Any fan of Divergent and/or Veronica Roth needs to snatch up this movie companion. It is just soooooooo long between movie releases – and these companion guides are a wonderful way to fill the void while we count down until Insurgent hits the theaters (3/20/2015).
