Hello everybody!
Today I have another book review, but also this book has
been turned into a movie, so I thought I would do a review for both movie and
book!
So of course by the tittle you would have already guessed
that I’m going to be doing a review on Divergent! I absolutely love Divergent
(both book and movie). I’m going to review the book first because I’m a
believer that the books are better than the movies and I always start with the
best (personal opinion NO JUDGING plz x).
So Divergent is about a world where the people are divided
in to 5 fractions, Erudite (Knowledge), Amity (Kindness), Candor (Honesty),
Abnegation (Selflessness) and Dauntless (Fearlessness). Tris finds out that she’s a
Divergent, and in this world Divergent’s are threats to the fraction system.
When Tris and mysterious Four find out about a plot against Abnegation they are
in for a ride (lol).
So the book, where do I start?
First of all I loved the characters so much! I really loved the fact that at
the beginning of the book Beatrice Prior (Tris) was quite a selfless (of
course) and a simple girl but throughout the book Beatrice changes into a smart,
strong-willed, direct, sarcastic and funny character. I really liked seeing
Beatrice change into another part of herself and I just loved the characters
she meets during the story, especially Christina. But of course Four is one of
my favorite character in the WHOLE book! At the beginning of the book Four is
this mysterious boy who keeps himself to himself, but also no one knows
anything about him. Four is such a mysterious character and whilst reading the book
you just want to know more and more about him and about his history and sort of
his whole life, to be honest. These two characters fall in love, and Four opens
up about his past to Tris. I feel like Four is just such a main part in the
Divergent trilogy I don’t think I would've read it if he wasn't in it. I felt
like when Tris and Four were falling in love, I really liked that it was a slow process, and that it was built with trust which I think is the main reason why
everybody loves them. I also loved the fact that before they fell in love they
were already sort of friends? But honestly I just loved the story so much and I
don’t think there is any fault in this book. Overall I love this book so much,
so entertaining and it’s a book which reveals little by little by every chapter
you read. I absolutely love this book and recommend it a lot, so worth the
read.
Now the movie. I really loved the
actor/actress Shailene Woodley (Tris) and Theo James (Four) who I just thought
really suited their characters and roles, I loved the way the movie story-line
was the same as the book, I know some bits were missing but I just loved the movie
so much I didn't even realize! I did actually read the book before I saw the
movie, but even then I was ABSOLUTELY hooked and I’m so happy the movie was made
(Dramatic I know). The movie did have a few LOL’s but I think the main story
was how Tris grew as a person and the sort of adventure that lies ahead of Four
and Tris. I also liked the setting of Dauntless and how it was so mysterious
and edgy, I really liked the setting of it. Also can I just add how amazing and cool the fighting
bits of the movie were, they were honestly the best, and you could see real emotion! I really liked the
fighting scene between Tris and Four it was just so intense and I feel like
they captured that part really well and I love how that scene ends and Its
actually my favorite part of the movie. As for the other characters I loved
them as well, to be honest they weren't how I pictured them in my mind but
still I loved it and I felt like everyone was committed to their role, which you
can defiantly see during the movie. I was actually happy that the movie was a
bit longer than usual, because I was so intrigued in the movie I didn't realize
that I had been watching it for 2 hours! I actually didn't want the movie to
end, but unfortunately it did, I just absolutely loved everything and I might have watched it again but who could blame me? And I would recommend you watch it
Okay guys sorry for the long blog post today but I’m just in love with Divergent and I recommend it SO much so if you

below SO that’s it from me today and I hope you enjoyed it and yeah, I’ll write
