This is a short place-holder review. Hopefully I will return and write something with more depth.
I've heard wonderful things about this book from a lot of different people. I had also seen the movie trailer and was really drawn in by that. (I think I still might go see the movie.) And maybe, I was expecting too much.
I love the concept, but the book took 150 pages to draw me in. I moved through the rest of the book faster, but it never became a book that I couldn't put down. With me and fiction, that is really the test of how I rate a book. It's not about literary quality for me. It's about what pulls me away from this world into the world of the book. It's why I can like the books of Stephenie Meyer and Dan Brown when my writer friends can't stand them.
When I finished reading Divergent, I thought, this was OK, I guess I'll read the rest of the trilogy, but within a few hours, it just wasn't important anymore.
