The Hunger Games or Divergent???
This is a kind of question that could start WWIII...! Just kidding :) but this is a serious topic that can keep arguments on for hours... So, let's spend some times talking about this, not the movie only the 1st book of the series (I don't have the patience to write that much).
Now, if you're a THG fan be ready to get some shocks and if you're a Divergent fan be happy because yeah, here's another crazy Divergent fan!!!!!
THG and Divergent- both of them are so freaking awesome. I liked THG, Suzanne Collins is an intense talented writer... But there're some difference between Love and Like...
I loved Divergent! It's the perfect definition of a dystopian book. I enjoyed every single minute of it. I'm just obsessed with this book , its every thing I love in a book: loads of actions, slowly building romance, strong heroine, handsome hero, a little bit of adventure and comedy and so on. Yeah THG has actions too, romance and adventure but here's what made me take Divergent over THG.
First let's start with their dystopian society. In hunger games there're 12 districts and each of them work for a specific part of economy. In Divergent there're 5 sections and they have their own part in society, kinda similar huh? But Look at THG, every year they select 2 tributes from each district and put them in an artificial set to survive with no rules (but sometimes they could get help). Divergent let every citizens to choose their section when they're 16 and after you chose one you're with them for the rest of your life. Which one seems more realistic? I found Divergent to be more realistic.
Now the characters, I don't wanna be offensive but to me Tris is way much better than Katniss. Both of them are 16 years old, Tris's character, behavior and thoughts just goes with her age but Katniss in this case seems a little too much than her age. Tris's crazy braveness, courage throughout the book was more suitable than Katniss's. I overall, liked the girl who wakes up by fear than the girl on fire...
Also Four aka Tobius is more interesting than Peeta. He's more handsome, brave,romantic, strong and he does what a hero supposed to do, he protects Tris. He clibms the ferris wheel with Tris though he fears height, he encourages her, he saves her many times...But Peeta on the other hand, is nothing compared to him, he had a crush on Katniss but in the game he joins in her opposite, and always causing kind of trouble for her. Katniss in fact had to protect him and I don't think he was any good for Katniss.
Tris's peers and family are also interesting, A smile placed in my face when I read the first line at the end about Tris's family rescuing her. Her gf Christina, Uriah and others helped her a lot as she risked her life for Al; Peter and his clique in her oppose made the story more enjoyable. Unlike Tris, Katniss doesn't really have any friend to hangout with
(except for Gale) and her family isn't that much interesting either, none of her friends or family helps her anyway.
THG has an annoying love triangle. I hate the fact that Katniss kisses Peeta and kinda falls in love when she knows Gale loves her. I mean Gale's done his best for you when Peeta is
nothing more than a burden, why choose Peeta over Gale? ( I'm in team Gale obvious)
She's kissing Peeta and thinking no I can't love him, Gale's waiting for me, this is all fake, we're just acting blah blah blah, again she decides to die with Peeta!!! :/ I don't know what others thinks but I found it really annoying and boring.
Divergent, on the other part doesn't really have any any love triangle. Though Al loved Tris at the beginning but it faded away later. Four,the hottest strong dude and Tris, the stiff newbie made a very perfect couple together. I like how Veronica Roth slowly put them into a relationship. They like each other, they protect each other and the main part is they're both the same type - Divergent.
And at the the ending THG was kind of smooth and ok but nothing like Divergent. Divergent ends up with very rush action, thrill and romance that was something unforgetable. If you've read Divergent you can't deny that the end was WICKED good.When I was reading that I had to remind my self to breathe :)
After all, It's all from my perspective. Maybe Divergent have flaws too that I can't see because I'm just in love with it. Please comment below which book you think is the best between them or if there's any thing else that makes Divergent better or worse. Hope we'll get more books like them in future... :)
