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.

A return to YA book series to get me out of my reading slump! I always enjoy a dystopian book and Divergent was no exception. It was nothing ground-breaking and there are definitely some questionable sections about sensitive topics (e.g., body image, sexual assault, suicide). But, regardless, it is definitely a page-turner packed full of action.

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.

 The book reads well because the author has a very good writing style. The story was readable, and exciting and plot twists were not exaggerated. The main heroine was sympathetic to me, and I also liked how the book was finished.

4.5

En bra dystopisk ya bok. Jag tyckte den var bra och kommer definitivt fortsätta läsa trilogin. 

Det handlar om Beatrice som precis som alla andra sextonåringar måste välja falang. Ska hon stanna hos de osjälviska eller byta till de tappra, de lärda, de ärliga eller de fridfullt? 

Beatrice får möta många utmaningar i det dystopisk Chicago men är ändå en tjej man kan relatera till. Bra karaktärer, bra handling och bra skriven, en bok jag kan rekommendera alla som vill ha en dystopi för åldern unga vuxna (young adult).
