Divergent

I obtained this ARC copy at the library conference a few weeks back and set it aside for future reading. I was astonished to see it all over the blogosphere during the Easter giveaways offered. I felt compelled to give it a read, so I took it along as a possible choice during the testing monitoring I was asked to do last week.



And the result? I could not put it down. It's quite as compelling as Hunger Games. (And, the whole-truth-and-nothing-but-the-truth? Our main character is quite like the main character of the Hunger Games. And her love interest is quite like the love interest of the Hunger Games. And the violence is quite like the violence of the Hunger Games....See where I'm going here?)



Not for the elementary set, certainly, but I can see this as a popular read among—no surprise here—Hunger Games fans.
