Review of Divergent by corqui

How many traits do you have? What would you do if you weren't allowed to have more than one? Divergent by Veronica Roth is a very exciting book because people are only allowed to have one of these traits: selflessness, intelligence, honesty, peace, or courage. This book is set in Chicago, and in the future. People who have these traits were divided into factions. Abnegation is selflessness, Erudite is intelligence, Candor is honesty, Amity is peace, and Dauntless is courage. The protagonist, Beatrice Prior, was born into Abnegation. During her aptitude test, the test that shows which faction you should join, she shows equal aptitude for Erudite, Abnegation, and Dauntless. People like this are called Divergent, and they are considered dangerous. This is one of the conflicts in this book. Beatrice chooses Dauntless and becomes an initiate, and this is how she tries to resolve the conflict. Jeanine, the leader of Erudite and the antagonist, has an evil plan that involves Dauntless and Abnegation. That's another conflict. I loved this book because I love books that have a dystopian future, and I would recommend the book to anyone who loves books set in the future.
