This first book in Veronica Roth's #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy is the novel the inspired the major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Kate Winslet. This dystopian series set in a futuristic Chicago has captured the hearts of millions of teen and adult readers.
Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and Maze Runner series, Divergent and its sequels, Insurgent and Allegiant, are the gripping story of a dystopian world transformed by courage, self-sacrifice, and love. Fans of the Divergent movie will find the book packed with just as much emotional depth and exhilarating action as the film, all told in beautiful, rich language.
One choice can transform you. Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring factions. Her choice will shock her community and herself. But the newly christened Tris also has a secret, one she's determined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous.
And don't miss Veronica Roth’s thrilling novel Carve the Mark.

saw the movie and it is amazing, but not better than the book!
I think the first book was amazing, and riveting! Just couldn't put it down! The second book had way more action and more romantic scenes. The third however was a little disappointing but in order to really know the series, the third book is a must!
In Divergent, Beatrice Prior lives in the dystopian world of Chicago. She is sixteen, and it is the time of year when sixteen year olds take an aptitude test and decide what faction they will spend the rest of their life in. Chicago is divided into five factions—Amity, the peaceful, Abnegation, the selfless, Candor, the honest, Dauntless, the brave, and Erudite, the intelligent. But Beatrice is different from the other sixteen-year olds. She fits in with more than one of the factions. She is Divergent, which is rare and dangerous. Beatrice changes her name to Tris when she chooses Dauntless, and learns how to fight and overcome her fears. In an exciting, hooking, coming-of-age story, Tris finds herself fitting in with Dauntless and faces her fears. Divergent amazed me. It is a truly incredible book, and one of the best dystopians I have ever read. It stands out from the others that I have read because it has a different concept, and it is a great new take on the genre. I love the idea of the five factions, and that the setting is in a futuristic version of Chicago. The characters have defining qualities—Four is mysterious, Tris is brave and fearless. There is so much action in this book, and so much suspense that you won’t be able to put it down. I can not wait for the Divergent movie, which is sure to be incredible, and I can’t wait to read more of Veronica Roth’s books!
I never read this book but I've read AWESOME reviews
I read this book before watching the movie, the book was a lot better than the movie. It felt like the Hunger games in how it was written.

This series is similar to Hunger Games, but I think it's even better! It's a dystopian set in a future Chicago, where 16 year olds must choose which faction to belong to. Tris must survive the brutal initiation into Dauntless, falls in love, and helps to disarm a revolution.
This is one of the best books I've ever read.
It kept me on my toes. I really liked how it al played out. I am Selfless. I am Brave. I am Divergent. Liked it alot!
So far, this is my favorite book ever! It is so interesting!
