One, two, three fire! I had just read the timeless science fiction novel, Divergent by Veronica Roth. She’s an author who has wrote the three on edge books of the the Divergent series. She has really worked hard to capture the smallest details and turn them into brilliant story form. When your done, you believe what you just read.

Divergent is about a girl in Chicago(Beatrice Prior) who must decide her fate by choosing a faction. Long ago, a war broke out and destroyed the way they lived.Therefore, they separated in 5 groups; Erudite(smart), Amity(kind), Candor(honest), Dauntless(daring), and Abnegation(true). However, a special brain power, Divergent, that has a result of two or three factions(three is very rare), that helps you stay awake when you’re being controlled. Beatrice must kill her fellow Dauntless enemies before they kill her. Even if it means loosing a friend.

I recommend this book because it’s a sci-fi, dystopian society theme that captures the struggle for keeping secrets and letting go. That’s why I love the book and it’s wonderful author, Veronica Roth. It said in the back that she started Divergent in college. Anyway, read the book because it’s great and you’ll enjoy it.
