Review Taken from The Pewter Wolf
Inside Divergent: The Initiate's World is a small book that brushes over Veronica's Roth's dystopian Chicago. With photos from the movie, the book explains the five Factors, a few characters within the story and explains the steps the initiates take from the aptitude test to Choosing Day and beyond.
Ok, let me state this now. If you have read Divergent or the whole trilogy, you do not need this book. This book gives you information that you have already read from the trilogy. So, you don't need it. Borrow it from your local library if you can as you will want to see the photos used (my fave is on page 42 and 43, solely because of the woman's facial expression. Thank you nameless extra!)
However, if you haven't read the trilogy, then this book will help you get a better understanding of the movie. It doesn't matter if you wish to read this before you watch the movie or if you read this afterward your viewing, this helps give information that was either hinted at within the film or will help you get a better grip of why the film is the way it is.
A nice book with great photos, but more a must read for those curious over the movie than the people who have read the trilogy.

i liked seeing all the pictures of people in their roles who i hadn't seen yet AND it was a nice refresher before seeing the movie. After Allegiant i have no desire to reread the books again, so this was perfect.

Good for a quick revision if you don't remember stuff from the book.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

It was cool because it helped me understand divergent better. Just can not believe they do not put Jeanine Matthews on the cover
