An extraordinary adventure in a controlled world, or the people are divided into five factions, each representing a moral quality that cultivates and working to eradicate it antagonizes default.
At the age of sixteen residents must pass tests that will determine their ability to integrate one of the factions.
But sometimes a person has the skills for several factions. It is then "divergent" ... and in danger of death.
The narration in the first person immerses us completely in the skin of Beatrice.
After a "altruistic" family, tests reveal that she is divergent, she must choose between the faction of his family or to leave it forever, if it wishes to join another faction.
What choice does she do? ... I will not say anything more about the history of this fantastic saga.
The story is exciting and beautifully built.
The harmonious mastery of rhythm and moods makes our heart beat almost in unison with that of Beatrice, one is carried away in their joys and sorrows, fears and courage to face them and overcome them.
The writing is neat, pleasant and particularly effective.
Intended for a young adult (but perfectly suitable for older people, like me), the language is easily accessible in the original language as well.
A book that mixes adventure with delight, action and romance while developing brilliantly very interesting topics that will lead the reader to a reflection extending well beyond the book.
The characters are complex, credible with some psychological depth intelligently developing their shares ambivalence, doubts, fears.
Veronica Roth cleverly raises questions about different aspects of personality in a society that tends to develop not only by repressing the rest, by filing imperfections and our humanity.
In short: A dystopia very cleverly constructed, thrilling, developing brilliantly exciting topics ...
and gives irresistible desire to know more: Divergent, Volume 2:
BRAVO and THANK Mrs Roth!
