Divergent

The independent reading novel I have chosen is Divergent by Veronica Roth. I have heard a lot about this book and it seemed like something I would enjoy. At first, this novel seems quite similar to The Hunger Games, another extremely popular futuristic book. However, the entire plot is completely different and has a lot more meaning. Usually, I’m the type of person to read a book before I watch the movie. But, I saw the movie during spring break and I loved it. So, I figured I would read the book too.     

I’m on chapter ten and so far, I really like it. It was a little slow at the beginning which is expected with most novels. I can already tell that Tris is going to be a very relatable character and she is extremely interesting. I really enjoy Roth’s writing style. She is descriptive enough that you can see what’s going on, but not overly descriptive to the point of boring readers to death. I’m excited to continue reading and see where the story goes.
