This dystopian series set in a futuristic Chicago has captured the hearts of millions of teen and adult readers.

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.

Divergent. Is. My. Obsession. Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior lives in a society divided into five factions—abnegation- the selfless, dauntless- the brave, erudite- the intelligent, amity- the peaceful, and candor- the honest. The story begins with her preparation for Choosing Day. On this day, each sixteen-year-old chooses one of the five factions to live in for the rest of their lives. Beatrice, an abnegation-born, is divergent meaning that she can’t be categorized into any particular faction. Her choice surprises everyone, including herself. She has choices of sacrifice and love, friends and enemies, and, goes through a journey full of surprises. This book will soon be made into a movie, coming out on March 21, 2014. CAN'T WAIT!

Oh my gods of dauntless chocolate cake I am not the only one who is obsessed with Divergent yessss

I could not stop reading this I was up all night

I read this series on our snow days. If you liked hunger games, you would enjoy this series. Check it out :)

Great! I am reading the second and third books

Amazing! My favorite part was the stage 2 of initiation. I love the way Tris is portrayed. At times though I have found myself screaming at the book when she doesn't sense a twist. I had Four's real name figured out about 200 pages before the big reveal. It was set up very subtlety (not) in an earlier chapter. Can't wait for the movie!

Good, but who else thinks Tris is a boring character?

I think that she is a very exciting character-I love her personality

I liked books 1&2, 3 was ok. If you liked HG you will probably like this series.

I thought this book was amazing! But, I would recommend being at LEAST 10 years old to read. If your under age, you should read it when your a bit older, because it's totally worth the wait! 5 stars!
