Divergent Series
I recently read the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. Overall, they are a great set of stories for young adults. In my opinion best for ages 13-17. If you are 18 and up reading them, then I would hope they are strictly for entertainment purposes, not to learn. However, the thing that I love about young adult books and even children's books are the lessons that I don't think the authors even catch that they include.
In the Divergent trilogy the main character Beatrice "Tris" Prior lives in a futuristic world where society is broken up into "factions" based upon personality traits. Courageous are Dauntless. Selfless are Abnegation. And so on and so forth. I doubt many of the kids who read these books took the time to look up the definitions of any of the faction's names, but still the attempt to educate our youth on words bigger than lol I applaud.
Tris is faced with a difficult decision when the test that determines which faction she should belong to gives unconcrete results. This begins a world of mystery of exactly what it is to be Divergent (have more than one test result), what this means to her society, and the dangers and trials that face those who are Divergent.
I don't like spoilers, so I try not to reveal too much in any of my reviews. Overall, it's a quick read, I finished the trilogy in about two hours, but I am a very swift reader. It flies by quickly and is moderately entertaining.
I give this series 3 out of 5 stars.
