In this book, the future is really different from now because people are separated in factions, so that there will be no war. The five factions are erudite, the intelligent; abnegation, the selfless; dauntless, the brave; candor, the honest; and amity, the peacefull. Tris is an abnegation girl, and as her faction she needs to help other people, even though she doesn't really feel that way. However, on the Election Day, that is the day where all kids choose the faction they want to spend the rest of their life's in, she discovers she is divergent, that is something really bad in that future because if someone knows, she could get killed, so she decides to go to dauntless, a faction really different from hers, so she can change her life. When she gets to the dauntless headquarters, she meets Four, a dauntless trainer, and some of her friends. During the initiation for dauntless, it is really hard for Tris to get along with some people, because she is divergent and she needs to be careful who she trusts.
As the initiation tests go by, Tris discovers more about divergent people and what she can do because of her being it, and she starts to feel something for Four, and he kind of does too.
One day, Tris and Four find something out going on between erudite and dauntless factions to destroy the abnegation faction, that is the one who is in charge of the government, because they want power, and knowing that is something that will change their lives forever.
I really liked this book because of all of the details it had, and because I was really interested while reading it. I really liked the way Tris, the narrator, described everything. For example I loved how she described each faction, the Election Day, how she dressed in abnegation and how she changed in dauntless, and the way she described the aptitude tests because they felt really real. Also, when she described Four and the things she felt about him, I felt them too, as if I was Tris, and I thought of Four as a really protective, hot guy. And when Tris was going to be killed by Will and Peter, I saw every second of it in my mind, just as if I was in the book watching it happen, and that's something that only good books can do. In every chapter that I read, I felts as if I was part of that book even more, and that was what I loved the most
I think that the people that will like this book will be teenagers, and people who liked the hunger games. I think teenagers will like it because of the plot and the theme. Teenage girls will like it because of the love part of the book, and because of Four, that is described as a caring, protective, hot guy, and I think that's what every girl wants. Teenage boys in the other hand, will like it, I think because of the dauntless faction, that is the most aggressive one and is the place where most of the book takes place, and because of the conflicts that are going on between dauntless, erudite, and the abnegation factions, that is what is going to make one of the conflicts of the book.
People who liked The Hunger Games I think will like it because they have some things in common. For example, they both take place in a far away future in America. In the hunger games people are divided in districts, and in divergent they're divided in factions. The last thing and I think the most obvious are the narrators. In the hunger games the narrator is Katnis Everdeen and in divergent it's Beatrice Prior, what they have in common is that they both are girls, they are the ones that can change everything in that future, they are the principal characters, and they fall in love with guys they thought they'll never fall for.
