jennalistens 's review for:

Divergent by Veronica Roth
3.0

This was entertaining but it too closely resembled the plot structure of The Hunger Games. It felt a little like deja vu reading this. The not-very-pretty, clumsy, unsure-of-herself female heroine comes into her own when put into a very physically demanding situation, and it turns out, she is remarkable and she saves the day. That, coupled with the love story and the culmination in a war pitting one faction against the other all in the frame of a post-apocalyptic world was all too familiar.

I don't feel compelled to read the second book.
