 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.

This book is one of the first ones I remember loving and obsessing over. I recognize that it is far from a masterpiece and that the author is problematic but I also am able to so easily fall into the world and characters that Roth created. I love the flaws we see and the amount of politics that are on display. 
The Divergent series will alway bring comfort to me (except for Allegiant when needs to get thrown out.)

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).

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.
