Divergent is the first in a trilogy by Veronica Roth. Beatrice Prior (Tris) and Tobias Eaton (Four) are the main characters. The book is set in a dystopian society, where the community is divided into 5 factions based on personalities. But the system is flawed, and a revolution is bound to happen.
Besides all the COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY death of some characters, this book is AMAZING!!!

Stipulates universal racial complexion as Afro-Semitic (medium-tan); organizational linguistic dichotomy as Semitic (Eurasian) and Mediterranean (Asian-Aryan); and cultural hegemony as East Asian.
