Title: Divergent
Author:Virginia Roth
Publisher: Harper Collins
Edition: Advance Reading Copy
Publication date: May 3, 2011.
When this book arrives together with my usual stash of samples from the post I got a note from the publisher saying that I might enjoy the book because she enjoyed reading it. I got curious and when I read the synopsis I said to myself I am going to read this later. The cover is not that appealing for me but when I start reading it that night I just want to finish it right away. True enough, I enjoyed it. It was full of action and I am very sure this will go straight to New York Times Best Seller list. I have to be careful on this because the book will be released this May and I don't want any spoilers here.
Beatrice Prior is turning 16. She lives in a society divided into five factions. Each of these factions follows a particular virtue: Candor (the honest and truthful), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave and bold), Amity (the peaceful and cheerful) and the Erudite (the smart and intelligent). On an appointed date every year, all 16 year olds gets to choose the faction that they want to grow up and live for the rest of their lives. It's going to be hard for Beatrice. Being with her family or who she really is would be the only choice. When she made the decision, she surprised everyone including herself.
Next thing is the initiation. Just because you chose doesn't mean you're in. You have to pass it first and she got some very serious competition. She also needs to know who her real friends are. She also needs to figure out what she really felt for the boy who fascinates and infuriates her at the same time. That's not all. She also has a secret. A secret she kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned about it.
Outside conflicts are brewing. Now the perfect society is on the verge of collapsing. Her secret might be the only thing to save her and her love ones.
