#Book Review 19 Divergent.

Hello World,

I know, you're all thinking, why is she doing another book review on a young adult novel. I'll tell you why, I was in a panic of what my brother can get me for Christmas and I remembered liking the film so I said "Hey, get me those Divergent series!"

Problem solved. Just that I have to remember to actually read them. I am prone to owning books and forgetting to read them for about a year. It happens, I buy more books and read them first. My brother should be proud that I have read this book in the first month of the New Year!
So Divergent, a little romance and a little action, kind of my thing. I think it is? It doesn't really include any fantasy that I kind of like, but it is involved with a lot of Sci-fi goodness. 

It's kind of set in the future and it has divided people into five categories; Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, Erudite, Candor. Beatrice was brought up in a loving home with other Abnegation, until she was sixteen and then she had to take a test to find out where she belong and make a choice to join a division. When taking the test Beatrice learns that her test was inclusive and that she is actually a Divergent, so she leaves the Abnegation and joins the group known as Dauntless. Where she takes on a series of tests; of strength and skill to become a true Dauntless. This is where she meets another Divergent and surprisingly falls in love with him. But the danger is not over, there is a woman in Erudite who is hunting down and killing of Divergents and Beatrice needs to know why and how to stop her. 

For a Young Adult, this book was a breeze and a little light reading. I particularly enjoyed the way Veronica Roth had shaped up the way the city has become and how simple but still complicated the government is now run in that book. 
I was the person who had watched the film first and I can only imagine the characters the way they was in the film. But I had managed to create my own version of how the Dauntless compound had look and I can even imagine hearing the sound of roaring water. Roth has a talent for describing scenery and I was captured into the story by it.
