Critic Reviews

Praise for DIVERGENT:

“The next big thing.” (Rolling Stone )

“If you like Hunger Games & Twilight, then get stoked for DIVERGENT! Trust us on this—this baby is going to blow up BIG! And if you chose to remain factionless, then you’re gonna be one lonely soul.” (PerezHilton.com )

“A taut and shiveringly exciting read! Tris is exactly the sort of unflinching and fierce heroine I love. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.” Melissa Marr, bestselling author of Wicked Lovely

“DIVERGENT is a captivating, fascinating book that kept me in constant suspense and was never short on surprises. It will be a long time before I quit thinking about this haunting vision of the future.” James Dashner, author of ‘The Maze Runner’

“Well-written and brilliantly executed, DIVERGENT is a heart-pounding debut that cannot be missed. Tris stands out in her action-packed, thrilling, and emotionally honest journey to determine who she wants to be in a society that demands she conform. It’s dystopian fiction at its best!” Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of PARANORMALCY

Wasn't as good as the first

Entertaining and good narration, but not as good as the first. The first book was hunger game esque but it's officially lost that vibe.

I also hate the relationship between the two main characters. He's controlling, unreasonable, and so easily willing to think the worst, and she's pathetically forgiving and focused on how much she likes him, and unnecessarily secretive about understandable and forgivable things. It's not cute.
Most of the issues between any of the characters could have been resolved with basic communication and it's frustrating to listen and think "just say this!" but they dont

Also spoilers ahead but it's SO annoying that no one's asking important questions like "so Tobias's mum why were you exiled?" And "Caleb what's this super convincing reason you had that made you agree to kill your sister?" Like really no one wanted to know these things? The didn't seem relevant? So stupid.

I'll read the third but it's grudging at this point.

Not quite unabridged

The performance for the most part was pretty good, I listened as part of an immersive read so when there were blocks of text not included in the recording I was a bit disappointed, sections where Tris has a stunner or taser are left out, and there were a couple of moments where Tris carries out a task but it was actually meant to be someone else.

Ok, but Parts 1 and 3 are better.

Enjoyable story, but there are a few plot points in the proceedings that I think the film actually improved on, particularly the ending. The narrator does such a good job of Tris with her intensity, seriousness and strong sense of justice. The corresponding film also falls a little flat, but it is only matching the book. It's very hard for a part 2 in a trilogy not to be mostly a build-up to the third part. The story on its own would not stand so well, but it's not really meant to. It's worth listening to if you're enjoying this trilogy.
