DIVERGENT TRILOGY BY VERONICA ROTH

DIVERGENT

Wow! What a great read! I don't know why I waited this long to read Divergent. Maybe because there were people saying that this was a Hunger Games knock off but it isn't. It's so different in many things. Its also my first time to watch the movie then read the book next. Sure there were still a lot of inaccuracies between the two but I loved both. And partly, why I decided to read the book is because of the movie.

I absolutely love the story line. Being set in the future wherein our society is divided into factions (Candor, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation and Dauntless) that controls everyone is unique as it goes.

Beatrice Prior never really felt like she belonged to her own faction, so when the day finally came for her to choose her own future she went with her guts told her to despite the fact that her test results were inconclusive. The day she came into Dauntless, she was just the "Stiff" but she grew day by day and she learned how to cope with everything, with a little guidance from Four.

Four and Tris' chemistry isn't clear but as you read along you'll notice it. Nobody likes an easy love story so it works. Their innocent love was cute and witnessing how it grew throughout the story was fun to read.

I admit, at first I was getting impatient because the beginning was slow but towards the middle it got a lot more interesting. And then towards the end, it was full blown action packed scene after scene.

I have seen mixed reviews about this book. It just goes to show that Divergent isn't for everyone but it is definitely for me. Now, I will move onto the next book! 

INSURGENT 

This book was supposed to be four stars for me, partly because I was so frustrated of Tris' decisions. I wanted to reach inside the book and slap her. But along the way, it was a complete turn around. It made me gasp because of those few revelations, it also made me tear up and it also made me sigh in a lot of parts. I'm also falling hard for Four *dreamy sigh*

That hangover though, WOW! Now I have to start the next one because I can't wait any longer and I need to find out more!  

ALLEGIANT

"Be Brave"

I never realized that I'll be crying at the end of this book. It was most unexpected that the ending will do such a number on me. I was late in reading this series and now I am currently asking myself why I waited so long to read it. I finally undestand all the hype and I for one am affected by this awesome trilogy.

Throughout the whole book, I got a bit confused and didn't really connect but as you go along with it, you'll get more and more hooked that you'll find it hard to put down. It was seriously addicting. All the surprises, unexpected events and unending betrayals by characters added more life to the story. It was a bit cruel for the author to kill so many of the main characters but I think it was those deaths that made the story move forward to its success. It was full on action and drama at the same time.

It explores the common adolescent anxiety and painful realization that doing something for the greater good required sacrifice. Even if it means leaving all those people you love behind, especially your very own family ideologically and physically. It also includes a metaphor about a teenager's trials upon facing separation from family and the agony of not knowing where you will be able to fit in.

Though the ending was devastatingly heart breaking, it was "sort of" perfect. Just goes to show that love requires sacrifice from every aspect. The story mainly pointed that out even from Divergent and Insurgent. I can't help but feel empty though, after reading this trilogy. It means that Veronica Roth did such a great job that he was able to touch her readers hearts and at the dame time taught us lessons we'll never be able to forget. 

5 HEARTBREAKING BEAUTIFUL STARS FOR THE WHOLE SERIES!!!
