Divergent, why read it?

Divergent, why read it?

 In one of my classes, Best Sellers, we have to choose a fiction to read and complete a project on. For my book I choose Divergent by Veronica Roth.  Divergent tells the story of a young girl, Beatrice. Beatrice or Tris lives in a Utopian society.

Each person belongs to one of five fractions the Dauntless, Erudite, Abnegation, Amity, and Candor. The Dauntless are brave, Erudite are smart, Abnegation are selfless, Amity value the power of friendship, and Candor can’t tell lies. Beatrice grew up in the Abnegation fraction, only she has a problem – she can’t be selfless. Once she reaches the age of 16, she can choose to qualify and move to another fraction based on test results. Her test results were rare to say the least turned out very unconventional. She’s a Divergent, a person who could choose three of the fractions. When she gets to the choosing ceremony, she has to choose. And where does she go? Dun Dun Dun she picks the Dauntless!!! Now we have to follow her as she figures out a life where she can be greedy.

The reason that I choose this book is honestly just because I brought it and never had a chance to start the book until now. Why I brought this book would honestly be a better question. I brought the book because I had heard so much about it. My last honors class had to analyze the first two chapters, I was very intrigued. The authors writing style really stands out to me. The way that Tris comes across the page, you feel what she feels. You have those moments of emotion, as if you were Tris. On the Goodreads website, Divergent has earned a 4.38 star reading. Already one hundred and seventy pages into the book, I’m giving it a 4. It has kept me engaged, but the plot is a little predictable so far. I still have a good three hundred odd pages left so I’m sure some type of plot twist will be introduced before the end.

Get booked, with a good book, I know I am.
