Divergent

Divergent by Veronica Roth


Fast forward into the future, future Chicago. In an attempt at survival, the 5 factions were created. The Candor (the honest), the Abnegation (the selfless), the Dauntless (the brave), the Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the smart). On a certain day of every year, all of the 16 year old's must choose what faction they want to be in...for the rest of their life. There is no changing.
"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. 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."

Many people have read Divergent, and/or seen the movie already, but for those that haven't... 

I really enjoyed reading this book!! It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I could not put it down. The story line is unique and very well written. There isn't very much cussing, and not too much sexual stuff. But..... there is a lot of violence. In order for Tris to stay in the Dauntless initiation and then at the end of the book, there is some violent scenes. 

If violence is something that doesn't bother you as much, then I think you would really enjoy this book. However, if this sounds like something that you wouldn't enjoy, then I would maybe pass :) 

rate: PG13

    some violence, & some makeouts (borderline inappropriate)

GOOD OR GOODBYE? 

   I would say GOOD/ You decide! Do what you feel comfortable doing! :)

NITTY GRITTY:

There are a couple instances where the H word is used.
Sexual: There are a couple makeout parts, and sex is hinted at in one part, but nothing actually happens.... I would say borderline inappropriate.
