Divergent
Insurgent
Allegiant
I heard about this series a few years ago; so, with the intention of reading them soon, I purchased all three and... Forgot about them! The flaw of a Kindle. I was always wanting to give myself the time to read them, but without the physical copy to draw me in I lacked the motivation. When the film was
released, I put off watching it for as long as I could, vowing to read
the book first. Then after months of delaying, because of reasons previously stated, I gave in and watched the film. And
oh my God am I happy that I did! I was thrown into a world that was unique and
cleverly portrayed, with the visual effects being outstanding. The storyline and characters
were so strong that I had to find out what happened next after the credits
began to roll. This was followed by three days of non-stop reading; with very
minimal sleep but maximum awe over the story.
To be honest, I am glad I left it a few years until I had
read this series. Why? I think that the
story has such a strong moral message, that I got to appreciate the
depth of it so much more now that I have experienced more of life. It just blew
all other stories out of the water, that none can compete anymore! So at least I got to
experience years of The Hunger Games being my favourite series before this one
took over, rather than the cloud of Divergence looming over the Capitol world of Districts.
As you have probably gathered from the film trailer, if
you loved The Hunger Games, or anything along that genre, then you will
definitely be hooked on this trilogy. It involves; a futuristic society, that
is captivating and yet very worrying; a very lovable female protagonist and
supporting characters; and a series of events that will have you hooked. Full
credit to the author for creating such depth to pretty much everything; her
talent is just surreal... I am actually amazed by what she has achieved and how
much the characters' and story stuck with me. I walked around the house in a
trance for a solid day after finishing the trilogy, unable to return to
reality!
I have gone through an emotional journey of discovery from
reading this trilogy, and it has left be exhausted but pleased. I recommend it
to everyone and anyone. I will now return to my hole, curl up into a ball, and
just try to comprehend the masterpiece that is Divergent.
