Divergent is one of the films I am looking forward to greatly in the first half of 2014. I have finished reading all three books (Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant) by Veronica Roth and they were really intense and amazing.
It talks about Chicago in the dystopian future where people are categorised into five different "factions" based on their personalities- Abnegation (the selfless), Candor (the honest), Amity (the peaceful), Erudite (the intelligent), Dauntless (the brave). Every 16-year old has to take an aptitude test that will tell them which faction they are best suited for, after which they must decide whether to remain in their faction they were born in or to transfer to a different one.
Beatrice Prior, born in Abnegation, found out that she possess qualities of more than one faction, making her "Divergent". She must then make the difficult decision of which faction she should reside in for the rest of her life and struggle to keep her "Divergent" a secret for fear it may cost her her life.
The official trailer for the film just came out and it looks great! I hope that the film turns out to be as good as the books did.
