A review by ashleyj_reads
Divergent by Veronica Roth

adventurous challenging emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

3.0

As a message about society to the intended audience (young adults), this is an excellent five star book. It does its job wonderfully.
As a re-read as an older adult, 12+ years since the original publishing, I have some do-not-like feelings about the writing style itself. I can't put my finger on what it is. Usually style is not an issue for me, but it made this read very difficult (almost a DNF).
