Divergent : review

Veronica Roth

Today I started reading Allegiant, final book in the divergent trilogy. I am not sure what to think about it before reading it since I have heard some thoughts on it from poeple who've read it... I decided to do this post on Divergent to recap for myself what "I'm getting into" again, so to say...

As a note here I'd like to say, no I'm not stopping blogging I just had a break of Christmas. Many of you did mail me about this, and I'm glad, but I did realize that in the future I will tell you of breaks. So you don't need to wonder... My mail: stuff931@gmail.com

So back to Divergent. The summary, taken from GoodReads:

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, Tris also learns that her secret might help her save the ones she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Usually, as you might know, I summarize it in my own words into a shorter version, but I wanted to try taking it from GoodReads and seeing what you guys think...
So, first of all I Loved this book! I was very happy when I went into reading it without knowing anything about it. I had been pushing of anything said related to it to keep the suspence for me. Now for thoughts on the book, other than loving it, and why's too:

This book captured me into it, which I haven't had for a while. I read it in a day and insurgent, second in trilogy, the day after. It was very remarkeble how insurgent started right where Divergent ended! It was perfect for those who were captivatd in divergent and had access to Insurgent immediatly to read, which I did. Most continuations of books start of weeks after where the last books ending, sometimes frustrating me. I would like to know what happens in between! (That is partly why I love novellas).
So Divergent had everything I adore in books: Romance, Action and a sprinkle of Fantasy. It did not have flaws, major ones at least, and it was notable.
One thing I hated, well strongly disliked, was that I was thrown off byt he factions. I could not remember them and the differences of them. My bad memory frustrated me and so I referred to the factions as colours, the ones they wore. I made a list and had it as a bookmark. After reading Insurgent I still could not remember them. I don' t know if it's just me though...
There was suspense in the book, which I loved, some friendship problems and thoughts on life overall. It had me guessing what will happen, especially in Insurgent I had no idea into where it was going. I loved the doubtfulness I had towards what I thought. Not knowing what to think, would be saying it in a simple way.
As a whole Divergent captivated my heart. And for that: five stars.
