5 Shining Stars~!
A book which rivals Hunger Games..
It was the most anticipated day of their lives - the Choosing Ceremony. Four Factions - One Choice. Would Beatrice stay with her family and remain in the Abnegation with those who taught modesty and selflessness? Or should she show an aptitude for Candor – who valued honesty above all else? Would she show an inclination for the Dauntless – the fighters, defenders, those with raw courage and bravery? She could also choose the Erudite - the intellectuals or Amity - those that believed in peace and unity. Even Beatrice wasn’t sure in which faction she belonged.
The aptitude tests were supposed to reveal the prevalent faction best suited for each teen and could help him/her in making a wiser decision during the Choosing Ceremony. Beatrice’s testing results, however, were different. Tori, the test administrator, seemed frightened when she tells Beatrice her results were inconclusive, indicating that Beatrice is a Divergent – one showing aptitude in more than one faction. Tori warns Beatrice never to reveal what she is but make her own choice during the Choosing Ceremony.
Confused and afraid, Beatrice selects Dauntless and decides to never look back on her decision. Beatrice changes her name to Tris, her appearance, and her entire way of life. Determined to prove she was not this reserved, petite, weak Abnegation girl, Tris takes more risks than the other initiatives and soon begins to stand out. Despite the violent, frightening initiation tests administered by the Dauntless instructors, Tris learns to find others’ weaknesses and use her own courage to excel all the way to the top of the list of new trainees.
Tris’s success is short-lived. When one of her best friends tries to kill her in order to advance himself in the rankings, Tris realizes the danger not only lies in the tests they must undergo, but also within the people of her own faction.
Tensions continue to rise when Tris learns of the plot of the Erudites. They will join the Dauntless in order to overthrow and murder the leaders of the Abnegation – including Tris’s own family and her father. Tris has chosen a faction being trained to murder, not to protect.
Together with her newfound love, Tobias, Tris must find a way to use all of her talents as a Divergent to stop the bloody war that she and all the Dauntless trainees have been programmed to fight.Breathtaking excitement…page after page!
Divergent? Best book I've ever read. Beatrice "Tris" plans on eluding her old faction, Abnegation, and joining Dauntless, the bravest of the factions, and probably the most challenging. While jumping off and on trains may seem eerie, imagine jumping off a building into a pit of which you have no idea what it has hidden! Tris not only exceeds everyone's expectations as her being a "stiff", but eventually surprises herself. Although having a rough time fighting people, she is Divergent, meaning she can control simulations. Divergence is dangerous and Dauntless leaders kill people that is divergent in their faction. This book was a complete success in not only describing and having full detail, but just the imagery and thoughts Tris has. Her crush on her instructor doesn't help her case, either. Toby "Four" is eighteen and ends up falling in love with sixteen year old Tris. After finally getting comfortable with the idea, they find out that another faction, Erudite the intelligent, is planning to take over Dauntless (although Tris is unaffected because of her strong divergence, and Four does get affected, but not as bad as everyone else) and plans to wipe out Abnegation. Will Tris, along with her boyfriend and brother, make it out alive? Will the save the day? We'll all find out in the next book, but there sure are many surprises leading up to this tragic event.
ReplyDeleteDivergent is by far the best book I have EVER read. The sense of adventure, romance that is just enough NOT to make a guy sick, and the action between the pages just give me goosebumps thinking about it. I highly recommend it to anyone who liked the Hunger Games and to people who didn't as well. I can't wait for the next!!!
Divergent. What is there not to say about it? Beatrice or who is now Tris was an abgnetion but became dauntless. She was very brave. She was the first to jump off the building and she was the first ranked. She and Tobias, also known as Four, are the only 2 people who are not overcome by the serum. This is by far the best book i have EVER read.
ReplyDeleteDivergent was the best book I ever read. Beatrice or Tris was the main character. Tris was an abgnetion and now a dauntless, which is the bravest group. Her coach was Four or real name Tobias fall in love! Soon, in the book she goes to see an old "friend" and all the people in the rank who survived run away. I wonder if there is going to be another book. I can not wait!!!! This was the BEST book I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteThis book is so great.It inspires me to do what i won't to do,even if other poeple don't like it.This is one of the best books i read.
ReplyDeleteI think Divergent was a rather great book. It had fights, tests of skill, and it defines who people really are inside themselves. I actually have no other comments on this. Must be the fact that after you read it, it's already burned inside your mind as the best book you've ever read. I have nothing else to say. 5 shiny stars.
ReplyDeleteDivergent was an amazing book. I loved how the author displayed the feelings and drama Tris was going through. How she felt nothing when one of her friends that betrayed her commited suicide. Or how she felt when she figured out she was divergent, thinking how different she was from everybody else. I also thought it was very creative how people were separated by bravery, honesty, and etc. above all I loved how he displayed the character Four or Tobias. A brave character who is also Divergent who only had four fears but would face them all the time and wants to be more than one faction, what an amazing character. Above all Divergent was an amazing book.
ReplyDeleteI love divergent. I love how the author displayed emotion and i loved the violence. Tris fought her way through many battles, dealing with love, hate, and revenge. Tris is not the ordinary girl in divergent. she finds out in the beginning that she is Divergent, which means she does not fit into any other categories. She finds out that she really belongs to dauntless and meets tobias and four. They are also divergent. Overall the battles and love, I Chose Divergent to blog about.
