It is the first book of a trilogy by Veronica Roth, an American novelist. Divergent (In spanish "Divergente") is a young-adult dystopian novel that features a post apocalyptic version of Chicago and follows the life of Beatrice Prior (Tris) Her society defines its citizens by their personalities and classifies them in five different factions based on their dispositions: "Abnegation" for the selfless, "Amity" for the peaceful, "Candor" for the honests, "Dauntless" for the brave and "Erudite" for the intelligent. Each year all sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that descrives the faction which they're best suited but after that they can decide their faction.
Beatrice or Tris, the protagonist , borned in "Abnegation" family but she doesn't feel like she belong in abnegation and when she does his aptitude test is inconclusive indicating aptitudes for three factions: abnegation, erudite and dauntless. The tester warns her to never share this fact because it makes her a "divergent" On the choosing day, she decides to share dauntlees ignoring the fact of disappoint her parents, but in dauntless, she has to pass the initiation.
That initiation is broken into three stages: physical, mental and the final proof. In the two first stages they have a ranking and only the top ten will pass to the final proof, and if they are out of the top ten, they will be left without faction and they can't return.
During the training, Tris meets some friends (But not all passes the stages) and the most important, she meets Four, one of her two coaches.
Tris has to face her government, find her love, protect her family and friends and especially hide the fact that she is a divergent.
I readed the book some weeks later and the last week, some friends and I went to the cinema to see the film. It was so amazing and I think the film was better than the book.
