i never actually read the divergent books when they were "popular" so to say, however after seeing the trailer for the new hunger games all i've craved is some sort of dystopian fiction that reminds me of when i was younger and this perfectly fulfilled that craving. not only did it do so but it also got me out of my reading slump.
as for the book it's self, i liked it more than i thought i would. there's so many parts where i couldn't put it down and i really like seeing the inner turmoil in characters during choosing day and the aptitude test and then following along to see the consequences of their choices. some of the things that were revealed were so unexpected which was crazy. i also enjoyed that the love story isn't a focal point but at some parts it was to the point where i almost forgot it was even a thing. but overall these are very minor flaws that did not change my mind. 5/5 from me
