Let me say right off that I found "Divergent" to be compulsively readable and enjoyable.  I don't think this is close to another "Hunger Games" but it shouldn't be.  Who wants to read the same book over and over again?  "Divergent" has an amazing plot and I think its a fairly unique one when you think about how many dystopian novels are hitting the shelves.  The story is basically about a world where there are five different 'factions' that people are associated with.  They live for these factions and work for these factions and have their entire belief systems set up to define the type of person an individual is.  Tris is a teenage girl who has been raised to be Abnegation, a selfless faction whose core belief is putting other before yourself.  When she comes of age and is able to choose for herself she decides to leave her family and faction and join the Dauntless, the brave and fearless faction who runs patrols around the border to ensure everyone's security.I had several important questions that never found sufficient answers and that is why I ended up giving the book three stars instead of more.  What is Divergent? That question is never really answered.  Sure its a person who has more than one faction that they show aspects of.  Yet so do other characters in the story who are not considered Divergent.  Also why is this world the way it is?  How did these factions come to be and why are the citizens so easily manipulated into these factions?  Why are people rebelling?I did like the characters a lot and as I mentioned earlier the plot moved along at a nice pace.  I especially like that the heroine is not a girly girl and is mentioned as having a childlike body and few curves.  I think that made her feel different than some of our other YA heroines.  I never really felt like Tris's friends were really friends and perhaps thats the way the story is intended.The resolution to the story is a little too quickly wrapped up and yet it was positively a thrilling conclusion and I think the author made some very brave choices in where to take the story and the characters.  Things are wrapped up pretty nicely although of course not everything is resolved so that the reader is left wanting to know more.  I just hope that the follow up gives up more background and also makes the explaination for a Divergent more clear.  I felt like the story told us what to believe but didn't really explain why we should believe.  I'd like to see all that acknowledged so we can move on with the story and focus on the intriguing plot.
