Who would like tho book? I think males and females would enjoy this book, but I think kids that are older than 12 should read this book.
The goods on this book: Divergent by Veronica Roth takes place in future day Chicago. They started these different compounds to eliminate war, but you really can never eliminate something, can you? When someone turns sixteen, they have to take a test that will decide your friends, define your beliefs, and that determines your loyalties-forever. It’s made up of five different compounds; each of them are different and stand for different things. The test will place you in one of them if you’re lucky, but you have the over-all choice of what compound you want to be in. Sometimes you get more than one choice, which usually means that you are divergent. The people who run the whole thing hate these type of people because they can control the tests that they give them. If they ever catch someone that is divergent, they will kill them, and this is what is happening to Tris in the book. She is divergent, and she is trying to hide it but it’s very difficult. Her friends don’t know about her, but if they did they might turn her in or worse. She finds out a lot about who her family really is and who her true friends are.
