Divergent by Veronica Roth
Apr. 18th, 2011 08:59 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
One choice decides your friends, defines your beliefs and determines your loyalties ... forever.
One choice can transform you.
In Veronica Roth’s debut novel DIVERGENT, a perfect society unfolds into a dystopian world of electrifying decisions, stunning consequences, heartbreaking betrayals and unexpected romance.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
This is an interesting YA SF dystopia that builds its society around 5 key virtues. Although some of those virtues came too close to stereotyping, I thought that the central character of Tris was well-drawn and underwent believable character growth over the course of the story. It’s not a perfect novel and I have to say that the inevitable romance storyline did nothing for me, but I cared enough about Tris to want to know what happens to her next and I will definitely be reading on.
DIVERGENT will be published in the UK on 3rd May.
Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the ARC of this book.
