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.

Bleugh. While I thought I might like the plot and dystopian setting, I found the teen romance really gross and drawn out and I also found the amount of violence (including sexual violence, abuse, and self-inflicted violence) toooo much.

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 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.
