Divergent Review I’m a new Fan!
I had zero idea what to expect last night when I was invited to attend the screening of Divergent. Hadn’t heard of it before really. After seeing it, I want to see the other 2 right now! It’s cruel really for them to make us wait. It was a heart pumping filled 2.5 hours. My eyes had to be closed numerous times during this movie. There are tons of scenes that take place on high buildings, requiring them to jump. Or falling off bridges that are just as high. I am deathly afraid of heights. I had to close my eyes during these scenes. You’d think that would make me like it less but it didn’t. I loved this movie and am ready to watch it again. Wondering what it’s about?
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.
Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series—dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
You can find the Divergent Series here on Amazon if you’d like to read them before seeing it. I had not read the books yet before seeing the movie and am buying them today!

I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about this movie, but really had no idea what it was about until recently. I think I would really like to see it at some point!

I am a huge fan! I can not wait to watch this movie!!
I haven’t read the series yet, but plan to see the movie soon. My daughter has read it and will be going with a group of classmates next weekend. She is super excited!
Everyone is saying it’s really good! I need to read the books.
I haven’t read any of the books in the Divergent series, my kids haven’t either. We all agreed that the trailer for the Divergent movie looks exciting, so we’ll check the movie out.
This is a new movie to me…I will be checking it out!
I’ve heard a lot about the movie and the books but I didn’t know much about it. Sounds like an interesting series!
I have been hearing quite a bit about this movie. I know my son would love to see it.
that’s just how I felt watching hunger games and catching fire! I won’t see divergent until I’ve finished the books and only just picked up divergent to read… so i’ll be late to the game.
I haven’t read the books so I don’t know anything about the movie at all but after seeing the trailer I do have an interest in it.
I’ve been hearing so much about this book series and movie lately. I liked Hunger Games so maybe I’ll have to give it a try.
I haven’t heard of it until right now. You’re making me super curious!!
I think I might want to see this now too. You got me intrigued.
I haven’t read Divergent yet but the trailers have me interested. I’m going to be downloading the first book later today 🙂
I really need to read this book so I can go see the movie! It looks so good!!
Oka, so everyone has been RAVING about this movie and I hadn’t heard anything about it. Now I understand why and I want to see it too.
Sounds like a great date night movie to see. Love thrillers…but i will have nightmares – that’s the bad part.
My teen really wanted to see this last weekend. She ended up not going, but I think this coming weekend I am going to take her. This movie has spiked my interest and I cannot wait to go see it!
I’ve heard lots about it, but had no idea about the details until now. I think i might just have to check it out.
I’ve heard great things about the movie, but haven’t started reading the series yet so I won’t be seeing it anytime soon. I really need to get through my tbr pile.
