Seeing
how it seems like everyone has read Divergent but me I won’t do this as a
review so much but just some rambling about my thoughts on it.
I
must admit I was a tad apprehensive when it came to reading this. I was back
and forth if I wanted to start another series. Was I going to like it and feel
as crazy about it as so many others seemed to be? Most importantly did I really
want to invest the time to read that huge of a book? lol Well I went for it and
what can I say I loved it!
I
loved how Tris wasn’t your typical heroine. She just represents your average
girl who was just trying to find her way and find out who she was. In the
process she finds out she is more powerful then she could ever imagine. What
wouldn’t be a great read without a little romance? Although I love the other
parts a little more I love the interaction between her and Four.
Now
seeing how the movie comes out today I must admit when I heard it was becoming
a movie that made me want to read the book more. I know book to movie adaptations
can be god awful! So when I first heard about the actors cast I was a bit
scared. Though I like Shailene Woodley I didn’t see her as Tris. However when I
finally saw the previews I totally bought it, I can’t wait to see it! The trailer
looks so cool and very true to the book... dare I say it even looks better than
the Hunger Games?? *GASPS* I know it’s not fair to compare the two they are
totally different so I won’t.
So
to wrap it up… I’m a Divergent believer now. I got sucked in once again by an
amazing story and characters that leap off the page and take you on a ride you will
never forget. Now I will admit I haven’t read the complete series…yet…but I will…if
anything the movies put pressure for me to finish.
Do
you have any wildly popular books you can suggest that I haven’t read it?
I'm late to the Divergent party too. I am hoping to go with my daughter to see the movie this coming week or so.
