Book Review of Divergent (Divergent, Bk 1)

Divergent (Divergent, Bk 1)


This is a page turner! A very well done dystopian tale. It is set in Chicago, where the democratic society has been done away with. The country is now divided into 5 factions depending on one's beliefs. At 16, they choose the faction they wish to belong to permanently. Choosing a different faction other than the one you were born into means leaving your family and being labeled a "traitor". I look forward to reading the next, but this one does wrap up well enough that it is not urgent to read the next.
