Books: Divergent by Veronica Roth

I have been reading quite a lot lately and I thought why not introduce some of the good reads here on my blog. But anyway, this is one great read if you're a Hunger Games Fan. It is a dystopian novel that revolves the story around a girl name Beatrice Prior. Shaileen Woodley will be starring as Beatrice in the movie. 

Here's the official summary of the book:

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

I like how Veronica Roth weave in the love story between Beatrice/Tris and Tobias/Four into the whole chaos. Similar to Hunger Games, they were separated into different factions/district. The difference would be that they can choose the faction that they want to be in at the age of 16 after going through an aptitude test. 

So, obviously, Beatrice Prior chose to leave her faction and that's where all the story begins. The harsh initiate trainings at Dauntless. Beating people up like a pulp and getting thrashed herself. Falling in love with the instructor (exciting huh! haha) who is super handsome, strong, muscular, gentle and loving. wah wah wah....Sounds delicious? 

This is a trilogy and the third book, Allegiant, is set to be released on October 22, 2013. I can't wait! I gobbled up the first two books, Divergent and Insurgent in 2 days. It's that nice! I first got to know about this book on All Woman Stalk

This website/mobile app has amazing content for the ladies. They range from makeup, hairstyle, healthy foods, recipes, books, music, movies, mobile apps....etcetcetc. All you need to know would be there. AWESOME! 

In any case, this is one amazingly awesome (I hope I didn't oversell it) book. Be sure to read it. You'll be captivated if you're fan of dystopian novel.
