Reading this directly after The Hunger Games was a bad idea, as they are a pale imitation. I really like Tris, and liked the slow burn with Four, but I didn't like it as much when it turned into a full blown relationship- that was what I appreciated about The Hunger Games, is that it didn't make it into a romance novel. The factions bit felt a little forced. It's fine, but not as good as The Hunger Games.

For those like me who enjoyed the Hunger Games, this was a really great variation of the "distopian-the-world-is-almost-dead-but-a-young-teenage-girl-will-save-all" genre. Roth is a well paced writer and I am happy that I read the first two in one sitting. The concept was ingenious, and the plot twists were both well timed and surprising. The main character had serious flaws, which made her both frustrating and very identifiable.

Three and a half stars. I like that I could read both books without waiting, there is however a third yet to be published. Society has broken itself into factions based on people's strengths. In Divergent Tris, the main character is initiating in her chosen faction and establishing the main characters and themes of the story. Insurgent furthers the breakdown of the system and the chaos created therein. These books were okay and held my attention. It's always interesting to see how people see the world after the breakdown of our current society.

I really enjoyed these books. As a few friends told me I think they were better than Hunger Games. I can't wait for the next one to come out. There are parts of the story that make you think, but you still want to know what happens next. Of course both books ended wanted you to immediately know what next. Now I have to wait.

Reread Divergent and Insurgent over the last two days, and I have to admit that I appreciated them even more the second time around. The first time I read Insurgent I wasn't very impressed. This time reading it right after finishing Divergent made me enjoy it that much more. Since I'm on the West coast there is still an hour and a half until I can start Allegiant! I can't believe it is finally here! With a cliff hanger like Insurgent it makes the wait time seem like forever! Can't wait to get my hands on this book and see what happens next!!

The world is awash with these young adult dystopian trilogies and in many ways we have come to know what to expect.
The Divergent series, in my opinion, is one of the better trilogies in the category. It isn’t the best but it is better than some of the books it is sitting beside.
As a whole, if you’re a fan of dystopian worlds then the Divergent books will probably tickle your fancy.
