This is the first time I've entered a dystopian world, and I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of a society in a repressive and controlled state. It sounds too dull and gloomy to me, but I had a day to myself and a friend recommended this novel so I tried it out.

Divergent is one whacked up world, believe me. But I mean that in a good way. It's different from the worlds I'm used to entering and exploring. This time, it seems more—real. And it's scares me a little if I lived in a world like this... scared, yes, but also very much curious as to how I would turn out if placed in the situation. The story is simply engaging, and it teaches subtle life lessons you have to keep an eye out for. I have to point out though, the end was rather... loose... but I guess that's what the next book is for. I'll surely return to this version of Chicago.

★ Note: The author described the target audience of her novel.

"This one's for the girl who doesn't care that much about the romance and is a little more interested in the dangerous and action-packed world. There's a little bit of romance in 'Divergent,' but it's definitely not the focus. And girls who are really into powerful protagonists who are not very nice. That's what you need to appreciate it."
