Book Club #5: Divergent

I was persuaded to read this book by a friend of mine... and I read this book with vigor.

 487 pages. I bought this book at around 10:00 AM. I didn't stop reading until 12:30 AM the next morning. With the exception of car breaks, potty breaks, and food breaks, I read this book nonstop. To say this book is a page-turner is an understatement.

What can I say? This book has everything. Action, romance, excitement, competition, drama, life-and-death situations, literally everything. It transports you to a totally different world, and the characters are so vivid and dynamic, all of them. It's so easy to get lost inside that world, it's amazing and addicting. Is it a classic novel, one of "literary merit?" Probably no. But if you want a book that will be a joy to read and will make you appreciate the excellence of leisure reading after years of assigned high school reading, this book is it.

I got SO addicted that I bought the sequel to the book two days after I finished the first. I'm currently reading Insurgent and it's pretty damn good too.

I also HAD to watch the film adaptation of Divergent right after I read the book, so I watched it online. The movie moved a bit fast for me, but it was mostly true to the book, which made it pretty good. I just love Shailene Woodley too, the girl who plays Tris, and Theo James, the guy who plays Four,  is reaaaallllllyyyy attractive. That just made the movie a lot better.

I realize that I haven't given anything meaningful about the book at all. It's probably because I'm still not finished with the story, because I haven't finished reading the rest of the trilogy. I promise that when I do finish (which will probably be very soon), I will do a proper book analysis. :)

HAPPY READING!
