Book v. Movie; Similarities and such

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2015)

I read the 'Divergent' series with my school's book club, and we saw the movie together. I enjoyed both the movie and the book, mainly because of the well-written world and characters, and of course, the similarities between page and screen. The only thing that I, and most of the book club, didn't see while reading was Tris' final fear simulation/test. The room which she took the test in was different. I'd imagined it as a small recording-booth like setup. With an office on one side and the simulation room on the other. The rooms were separated by one way glass/mirror, and Tris was unable to see the people monitoring the test, though they could see her. Other than that, I loved the film. Shailene and Theo did an amazing job of portraying Tris and Four. I'm excited and looking forward to seeing 'Insurgent' with my book club.
