"Divergent" {by Veronica Roth} Book Review

(source)
Divergent

Author: Veronica Roth

# of Pages: 487

Year Published: 2011

Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books

Genre: Young Adult Dystopian


Summary: 
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, 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 to determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating 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 a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.



First, let's talk about what we overall rated the book (out of 5 stars):

"Divergent" {by Veronica Roth} Couples Book Club Ideas

AUGUST COUPLES BOOK CLUB:

For this month's book we picked Veronica Roth's new dystopian book, "Divergent" which is an action packed page turner from start to finish. (At least, that's what I thought about it but I'm excited to see our official book club review of the book will say!)
Having the guys join our meeting this month made for some really interesting discussions and I think most of us walked away feeling like we really got into the "nitty gritty" of Roth's writing and the world of Divergent.
