General Thoughts
I was halfway through the first book when the movie came to the theaters. So I watched it. And it hooked me almost as much as the book. It is Theo James we're talking about after all.
Divergent had it all: thought-through back story, ingenious plot-thickening, haunting romance and honest, sharp characters.
The Writing
Veronica Roth's writing is elegant, though simple, nonredundant (is that even a word?). Her language flows through the pages, easy to get lost into. She uses present tenses to talk through Tris which, unusual as it is, I've always found to be quite enjoyable.
