This book was magnificent. I read it in the spam of two days and it let me thinking about it forever!Starting with the plot, I though it was very interesting. Even though it was yet another dystopia, it had a very distinctive feel. I was thrilled with the idea of getting divided by your behavior and your likes and your way of thinking. And how depending on the faction, you had strict rules that conditioned you to be and think the way your faction wants. And how you can choose about what faction you feel like you belong the best (even though there's kind of a tabu about that). Also, all the theme about the serum that shows you your greatest and worst first that you probably didn't even knew you had. And the technology in general was very interesting.Then there's the character. At this point, I though Tris was a great MC. I mean, she was the typical skinny, small, no-big-deal, not-so-pretty girl, but she actually got stronger. And she trained for it. She had this determination that was incredible. She actually got up and said “I'm not going to be one of those MC, I'll actually do things for myself”. She kicks ass. And I though that was awesome. And Tobias, well, do I even need to say something? I'm in love this Tobias. He's strong, handsome, sweet and kind of funny. And how he behaves with Tris is just lovely. I never really liked much Christina, but she was a pretty awesome character as well. The “bad ones” were very well done, because I actually did hate them and when that happens it means the author did a good job.About the world building, I don't think at times it actually made sense, and I sometimes had to reread some describing about it because I didn't exactly finished to understand, but I think I did a pretty good job in imagining it, because she lives a lot to your imagination.The only bad thing, is that I pretty much guessed what the major plot and twist was going to be. It was way to obvious to me, but it still surprised me how it was carried. It was very original.I got an obsession with this book since the moment I laid eyes on the first page. I couldn't put it down and much less stop reading, and there was never a time where I got bored.The writing was good, nothing too special. But there were times where she said this really cool things in such a beautiful way. But it was just some specific moments, the rest was normal.I was very excited to read this book, reason why I got very impatient and read the second one right away. And then, after finishing the series, I read the books all over again to see if I could catch any other thing I might have missed. And I must say, from all the books, this is y favorite.Divergent is a fast paced book that will trap you from the beginning, and you won't put it down, neither would you want to. With great characters and action packed scenes, [a:Veronica Roth 4039811 Veronica Roth https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1363910238p2/4039811.jpg] did a great job writing Divergent.If you want to read my review of Insurgent If you want to read my review of AllegiantIf you want to read my review of The TransferIf you want to read my review of Free Four
