Divergent by Veronica Roth

The best thing about my book, Divergent, is that it is fast paced.  Because the book is fast paced, I am not bored reading the book and I want to keep reading to find out what happens next.  Sometimes, though, things happen very quickly and I have to slow down while reading to digest the significance of the events.  I like fast paced books because they seem to develop quickly and I don't have to wait too long to get to the eventful parts of the book.

It is really important for me that a book be fast paced, otherwise I am likely to get bored.  In fact the only time I did not finish reading a book was when I found the book to be very slow paced and boring.  I just could not keep reading it, because it was not moving along.  The other reason I like fast paced books is that the author dedicates more time to the climax and the resolution of the story instead of the buildup.  Of course, I expected Divergent to be fast paced because it is an action filled story!

If you have read Divergent, what do you think the best or worst thing about it is?

  1. My mom just got me this book over the holidays and I'm really excited to read it. I want to read it before the movie comes out because the book is always better. Is there a similarity between this book and hunger games?

  2. One thing that I really liked about Divergent that it was science fiction, fast paced, and was similar to Hunger Games. But I agree with you that it was too fast paced at some points in the plot. I had to re-read a lot.
