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.

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).

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!

I’m a bit late to the train on this one, but I really enjoyed it. I was a massive hunger games fan back in the day, and my boyfriend convinced me to watch maze runner and then divergent, and I enjoyed divergent so much I started reading it the same night. Some of the dialogue was a bit weird at times but overall I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed Tris as a character, she’s like the ‘I’m not like other girls’ but at the same time she’s not. I loved her strength. I loved that four admitted that she wasn’t pretty, and that wasn’t the reason he likes her anyway. Gonna keep reading this series, and if the films were anything to go by the 3rd book is probably going to fry my brain but I’ll try my best anyway.
