Divergent: Beginning of the book

I have been told multiple times to read Divergent, by friends and mostly my older sister Antonia. Back before the movie came out she had just finished the last book and told me how it ended, that made me not want to start reading the book because I would be mad at the ending of the series. Over the summer I saw the movie, so I know how the book goes. Since school has started all of my friends have been urging me to read this book, but I never wanted to. As more and more people told me to read it, I started wondering what would be different in the book from the movie. So now I have decided to read it to see what all the fuss is about.

I haven't read very much of the book yet because I have been busy this past week. So far the author has described everyday life for Tris, the main character, and her family. Then she talked about the aptitude test, which determines what faction Tris will be in for the rest of her life. After Tris takes the test she discovers that she is unique. She could fit into any one of the five factions, so she is called divergent. In her society this is a bad thing, so she isn't allowed to say anything about it, and has to decide for herself what faction to choose.

Everything I have read so far has been pretty close to how it was in the movie. I am excited to read more and find similarities between the movie and the book. Even though I know what is going to happen the book is still really interesting. When I finish the book I will be able to decide which one I like better, the book or the movie. Judging from what I have read I think I will like the book better because it is a lot more descriptive than the movie is.
