“People tend to overestimate my character," I say quietly. "They think that because I'm small, or a girl, or a Stiff, I can't possibly be cruel. But they're wrong.”


I started this book after finishing the A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R.R. Martin, devastated at having to wait about a year for the next season on TV and ages for the next book. I wasn't expecting much from Divergent, thinking it was going to be overly mushy like Twilight but in a Hunger Games-like dystopian world. Oh, how wrong I was! The Divergent world is similar to present-day USA but with a couple of significant changes that I found fascinating. The main characters Tris and Four are easy to get attached to, being quite realistic and fully-fledged. The flaws lied in the secondary characters, which were not as developed in the first book as the rest of the series and I often muddled some of them up. However, this was a good start to an easy series to enjoy.
