‘There’s a difference between not
being afraid and acting in spite of fear,’ Divergent, Ch12
Divergent by
Veronica Roth is the first book of a trilogy. It is about a world where it is
split into five factions: Erudite, Dauntless, Abnegation, Amity and Candor.
Each year, 16 year olds have to choose only one of them to live in for the rest
of their lives. Beatrice, one of these 16 year olds, struggles to make her
decision, she can’t choose between family and where she feels like she truly belongs.
In a world that’s supposed to be perfect, Beatrice sees the real truth. That
nothing can stay perfect for long.
Divergent is a
very well known book so that’s why I decided to read it. I was a little bit
disappointed in the beginning of the book, because it didn’t capture my
interest like I thought it would. There have been many positive comments on the
book, so my expectations were very high.
The book didn’t get my interest right from the start, but after a few
chapters it was definitely a page-turner.
