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.

I liked it so much that when I got it, I just started reading it, and if you love it THAT much as me, you then finished it in about two hours. Please believe me, I am not lying it is that good! Read everyone else's comments about it. And listen to bookish5. Please.

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! i read this book for book club at my school, and i loved it. the plot is intense and perfectly thought out. their is just enough danger, laughs, choices and challenges for the reader. believe me, u have to read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was an amazing book that I definitely think deserves all the hype its gotten. Not only are the characters amazing, but you immediatly find yourself in love with the plot, the action, and the romance. I loved the fast-paced events in this book, and I always felt as though I was taking a step deeper into Tris`s thoughts as she made decisions and became a new person through the journey of this book. I fell in love with so many lovable and dangerous people in this book, and felt terrified, excited, doubtful, and surprised at the reckless and courageous Beatrice that progressed throughout this story. Five Stars. No doubt. Go read it now. Enough said.

yes. this is my favorite book ever. once you start reading it you cant stop. tris is amazing!

This book is better than the hunger games. Guranteed! I completely recommend it!

Best book ever read it like 6 times! insurgent was amazing too. i can't wait far the therd book or the movie i bet they will be awesome!

A heart-stopping book. A must have; It will have you flipping pages until the end and makes you wonder what will happen next.

Love the Hunger Games? Then you will certainly love this book--it has many simularities, but an entirely different plot! In this book, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to a particular virtue: Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On one day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice Prior, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. She struggles with the decision, until she must choose which faction to belong to.

I love this book so much, that I decided to write the summary that is on the back of the book so you will know what the book is about. Summary: ONE CHOICE-Decides your friends ONE CHOICE-Decides your beliefs ONE CHOICE-Determines your loyalty...FOREVER! I hop you read it! It is AWESOME! P.S. I heard the author is making the 3rd (and final) book! YAY! :)
