    In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

    What made the experience of listening to Divergent the most enjoyable?

    I really enjoyed Divergent, though if you are looking for another Hunger Games, this falls a bit short. My main complaint is with the narrator. She is very flat, monotone; all her characters sound like 12 year old boys. I eventually got used to her, but that is not saying much. I applaud the author for her study in social structure and the development of the plot lines. The story kept me interested and I was excited to move on to the second book in the series.


    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    The narration was much too slow and flat for the excitement and pace of the story and characters.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    This book was a little long for one sitting, though it could have kept my interest.

    Graham Greene’s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.

    Emily - Audible says: "Colin Firth Kills It"
    "Stellar reading of a sad story"
