I liked the movie and now I will read the books. I bought them but haven't managed to crack one open yet. They've moved up the mountain. --Kara
I've read the books and have to say I am disappointed in the ending of Alegiant.
The movie just came out, and it is much better, though I'm not sure they are done. They left plenty of room for a fourth movie, where there is no room for a fourth book (except prequels and deleted scenes.)
New York (AP) - Tuesday, April 1 - 4 hours ago:
It's good news for novelist Veronica Roth: "Divergent" is a hit at the box office and a blockbuster at book stores.
A spokeswoman for HarperCollins Children's Books said Tuesday that the young adult series set in a dystopian future has been selling 500,000 copies a week over the past three weeks.
The movie "Divergent" is based on the first book and stars Shaliene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet. The action-thriller was released March 21 and has already made nearly $100 million.
The first "Divergent" book was published in 2011, and total sales for the series now exceed 18 million copies. As of Tuesday afternoon, four of the top 10 sellers on Amazon.com were "Divergent" books.
