Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Divergent

Literally could not put this book down.

As someone who watched the films first and loved them, I can confidently say the books are SO much better. I loved all the little details and plot points that the film missed and just the description of Tris’ emotions that couldn’t be translated to film.

One piece of advice I would give if you are reading this after watching the films is that the characters of Tris and especially Four are (in my opinion) very different to the books compared to the films. I would recommend starting the books with this in mind and you will enjoy it and relate to the characters better.

Even if you haven’t watched the films, oh my goodness I would recommend this book to anyone. Cant wait to read the next one.

Not the best book I've ever read, but better than some. This is a decent book to read if you like "romantic" dystopian novels with cliques. There were reviews about this book saying that the romance was so strong, and that the characters were so amazing, but I do not agree very much with those statements. Though, I do like the fact that each faction is a different part of speech. I do, however, like how the faction names(Dauntless, Amity, Erudite, Abnegation, and Candor) can easily roll off the tongue and sound nice.

I honestly don't like how Tris basically hated Marcus just from being in Tobias' fear landscape, seeing as she hasn't gotten to understand or know Marcus yet.

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.
