Divergent: Finished with the book

I would have taken longer to read this book but since I was sick for two days this week I had a chance to read and finish the book. I wasn't surprised by the ending because I knew how it was going to end. I really liked the end because it makes me want to read the next book, which will make me want to read the last one. I really enjoyed watching the characters develop in a way I couldn't when I saw the movie. In the book I could read what the characters thought and see their changes there instead of just in their actions and what was being said.

If I had to pick a favorite between the book and the movie it would be the book. It was fun to read the book and visualize what I saw in the movie but I liked being able to visualize what I thought the scene would look like for scenes that weren't in the movie. I wish I would have been able read the book before I saw the movie because I feel like I would've been more interesting to be able to come up with my own picture of what the people and places looked like, instead of seeing what someone else thought it looked like. I am still glad that I finally decided to read this book because I think it's even better than the movie. Movies are good if you want to see a book come to life but sometimes seeing the movie is not enough to really get into the story and understand the characters. In most cases of the book and movie adaptation the book is better, but the movie is sometimes just as good as the book and that's what I think about Divergent.

I don't think that I am going to read the sequel yet but I will sometime. I want to read something that I know I will like for my choice book. I tend to enjoy reading more if it's something that I'm not forced to read. I may not start a book right away but when I do start a book I've been wanting to read I am able to really get into it.
