I was recommended to read Divergent by a friend before the movies came out.
Being the very first YA Novel I would read, I was excited, but ended up honestly disappointed.
I just couldn't relate to the main character, Tris. Most dialogues were her inner thoughts and she just kept changing her mind about her choices on every chapter. I also found the secondary characters were somewhat generic "friends", "love interest" and "villain", with only one having a meaningful impact to the overall story, but quickly forgotten over.
The world building was truly interesting, but somewhat hard to believe it'd be able to sustain itself for so long.
On a brighter note the book handled action well, keeping things exciting on the final chapters.

Tris' character was both very believable and relatable. Four was believable, but I don't think he was as relatable as Tris. I loved Eric's character as one of the main antagonists.
I would definitely recommend Divergent to anyone who enjoyed other Young Adult books like The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. I think the exciting plot and the rules of the different factions would be most interesting to those who love the other series I've mentioned.
