A review by milliei
Divergent by Veronica Roth

4.0

Obviously a re-read on my part. Why? Well, I recently watched the movie Allegiant for the first time, and I must say, I was as confused as I was with Insurgent. The whole time I thought: what book did I read? Really? Did this happen? Am I just being forgetful?

Divergent the movie follows the book well, which I'm really happy about. It bugged me that I couldn't remember the series, so it was nice to refresh my memories. Divergent the book was really good, I love Veronica Roth's writing style, although I sometimes felt out of place and couldn't really imagine what was happening. When I read a book, a movie is playing in my head. But for that to work, I need to know WHERE the characters are, and sometimes it confused me how stuff could pop out of nowhere and I had no idea where we were.

Besides from that, I loved the book, and the story. Four is still my favorite character. The most important thing I can remember from my first time experiencing the story, is that I liked the first book the most. Let's hope the others don't disappoint me...
