Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent - Veronica Roth
"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."

MY OPINION:
It is an easy entertainment book. Although the book is so obvious.

Everybody was talking about 'Divergent', saying that the book was so cool, so I started to read it. But I was really dissapointed. I have to say that I read the book in less than one afternoon, because of this I said the book was easy.

'Be divergent', I wish that Veronica explains better this word in the future.

What can I say about Beatrice? And about Four? Its so evident that Four is in love with her, He is making things all time for save and help her. Although there is one more obvious thing: Four is Tobias. Since the first of the book when they are having dinner and they talk about Tobias and his family, you know that it is so obvious that something will happen with him. And the first time you see Tobias, you realise that WOW, Tobias is Four. It is so pretty obvious.

The only word I think in my mind when I remember the book is OBVIOUS. Obvious, Obvious... I was hoping some surprise when I started reading the book.

I think the book was entertaining but it would be more entertaining, enjoy or fun if the book would have been less obvious. I read the second part and I will read the third part, but I am still hoping SURPRISE.

I give 3 stars to the book.
3 stars? Why? It's so entertaining, easy and quickly action!
