A review by thekatiefu
Divergent by Veronica Roth

4.0

I think my first mistake was seeing the movie before reading the book. Since I already knew what happened, this just was not the page-turner I wanted it to be. They sure did change a lot when they adapted it for film. But I think I liked those adaptations better. In the movie Tris is strong and powerful; in the book she's a weepy little girl quite often. Even Four seems a weak version in the book as compared to the movie. Reading the book after seeing the movie made me annoyed at the weak characters in the book.

Once I start something I have to know what happens, so of course I will be finishing this trilogy. But my expectations are a lot lower now after reading the first book. Hopefully that works in Roth 's favor for books 2 and 3.
