Teen Review: Divergent (second review of this book)

Divergent Review by AI

This book is a very well produced book. The book creates a story of hatred and violence, but the book is telling a story in a very unique way!

In this story, the main character Beatrice (Tris) Prior is chosen to join the Dauntless faction, from the Abnegation faction where she grew up. When she became a Dauntless member, she is not ready for this transformation and she doubts herself for being good enough to be a member. But Tris learn that she needs to toughed up after seeing her friend commit suicide for not being good enough.

Tris meets a worker of the Faction named Tobias (Four). Four helps Tris become unstoppable and determined to continue as a Dauntless member. Once Tris becomes powerful and strong with Four's help, she learned there is something going on with the Factions that is strange. Tris cannot figure out what it is, but one night all the Dauntless community become under control along with some leaders. Tris and Four  are the only members not under control because they are both Divergent which is an uncommon faction issue which makes Tris and Four belong to many Factions, but choosing Dauntless. They eventually have to fight the leader who are bringing violence to these factions and they have to kill a few of their friends and family which makes the family members upset even though they are helping to protect the Factions and their hometown. The end of the book shows Tris, Four, Caleb (Tris's brother) and Marcus (Four's Dad) leaving on a train to hide from Jeanne, an evil leader who brought terror.

At first, reading this book it a slow moving story line because the book just talked about how their training and all the drama going on. But towards the middle and end of the book, the action started occurring. In which the violence and fighting happened which made the book very interesting. If I was to read the book again, I would think differently about it after reading all the sequels and watching all of the movies.

This book was a very good book in which I would recommend for teens/tweens. I would not recommend this book for children under the age of ten years old because there is a lot of violence, fighting, and abuse going on throughout the whole book. If I were to rate this book, I would give it an eight out of ten!

8 YA BOOK CLUB BOOKS TO READ FOR GREAT DISCUSSIONS

Alice Nuttall   Sep 5, 2023 B ook clubs aren’t just a way to enjoy reading and branch out by trying books you wouldn’t have picked for yourself — they’re also a great way to get into discussions of multiple different subjects inspired by the reading you’ve done together. While book clubs can be beneficial to people of all ages, they can be a particularly helpful place for teens to engage with new ideas, put their opinions forward, and take part in friendly discussions about everything from social issues to the writing process. I’ve been in a few book clubs over the years, and while I certainly haven’t loved everything I’ve read as part of them, it definitely led me to YA book club books I otherwise would never have tried and got me looking at a whole range of different perspectives. School is back in session for the autumn, and whether you’re an educator yourself or just want to help the teens in your life discover new books, a YA book club is a great way to get young people engage...

CLASSIC YA BOOKS THAT MADE YOU FEEL SEEN

  K.W. Colyard   Jul 26, 2023 SPEAK   BY LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON I’m sure I’d heard of another book about rape before  Speak  came along. Hell, I might even have read one. But these days? This is the only book I can remember that dealt with one of the myriad possible reactions to sexual assault: silence.  Speak  and other books that deal with similar subject matter have the ability to empower victims of abuse to label what’s happened to them and seek help. ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET  BY JUDY BLUME Once a staple on banned books lists, Judy Blume’s most famous novel has been teaching preteens about puberty — including menstruation and boob exercises — since 1970.  Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret  was far ahead of its time, being one of the first children’s books to show an interfaith family on the page, and — along with Lois Lowry’s Anastasia Krupnik — depicted a child allowed to make up her own m...
