Should I read Divergent?

[Deleted]

My last 3 books have been The Light Between Oceans, Columbine and The Dinner. All mind-fucks. I need something easy and entertaining.

Did you enjoy Divergent? I liked the Hunger Games books. Is Divergent better or worse than THG? 

Gracias.

I want to read it SO bad, but I'm waiting for the second book to come out in paperback. I know I'll want to read it right after the first book, and I can't stand hard covers.

Yes it's fantastic. It's my favorite series of the YA genre.

Sweet. We are leaving for M's T1 Conference in Orlando shortly and I want to bring along a good poolside book.

I loved Divergent.

A friend of mine recommended these books as an easy/good read. Now I can't wait to start them.

I need to head to the library ASAP. I really want to read these. I'm on book 2 of GOT and as much as I like it I need a long book (or longest series EVA) break.

Yes, Divergent is better than Hunger Games.

I really liked Divergent, but I could not get into the second book at all. I read like 2 chapters

[TrudyCampbell]

I liked it, but I don't think it was even close to being as good as Hunger Games. Sorry, guys!

[jojoandleo]

It's very different than THG. I like them both in different ways. I kind of think THG is better written. Divergent seemed more YA to me than THG. No that that is good or bad, they are just different. But yes you should read it.

And NO! The person playing Tris is the WORST POSSIBLE CASTING EVER! I would say worse than Peeta, but I will give the movie a chance before saying that.

[joshlyman]

Yes! I liked it just as much as Hunger Games

I liked Divergent. But I don't think it was better than THG.

[lightbulbsun]

Read it. I liked it more than the Hunger Games.

You should read it! I liked it just as much as THG.

The second book is my favorite, same with THG. 

I think the writing is better in the Divergent series as well.  But it could be that I´m biased, because the writer is from Chicago, LOL.

Meh, it was ok. I enjoyed reading it, but I don't care at all what happens to any of the characters and I will not likely read the other books. I was hooked on HG though.

This is sitting on my desk as my next read.

As long as it's better than Gone Girl, I'll be happy lol

I just finished Light Between Oceans. OMGGGG I loved it. It was like a childhood fairy tale, but cooler. Such a great book!

Man. I really need to give this book another shot. I started it once and then got bored and had to return it to the library because I neglected it for most of the loan period.

And a definite yes to Divergent.

[christy082]

Yes I loved it. 

[blueshirt2003]

Yes!

Loved it. WIsh is wasn't so long until the third book would come out. I really shouldn't read series until they are all finished, I get to impatient.

Um, YES!  I am so annoyed.  What does it all MEAN!?!
