For me, Divergent is special because it is the first book I've ever read that the main female is my absolute favorite. She's so much more believable than any other main female I've read in a long time and I relate to her in so many ways.
At first, I didn't care for Four and I sort of called that he was Tobias when Tris began to suspect he wasn't originally from Dauntless. But I grew to love him during the scene where he saves Tris from Peter, Drew, and Al and every scene he was in there after.
And can I just say how AMAZING IT IS to have a mother-figure in a book NOT be fragile, sad, and helpless?
I'm a huge fan of the Hunger Games, but I feel everything that book did wrong with it's characters, Divergent somehow managed to make right.
So that's my favorites. Tris, Tris' mother, and Four in that order. Yours?

Uriah. Hands down. He's so freaking skillful, but also nice and funny. i so so SO SO hope he's alive. *crosses fingers* I also like Four, but just... It annoys me how he's like "Oh i'm Four, i'm so professional and ruthless and mysterious. LOL JK i'm Tobias and i love you." For me their relationship seems a bit rushed.

I personally prefer his badass side to his "omg I love Tris" side. But I do appreciate his role and how Tris is the one who saves him. I think his presense just makes me love Tris more.

I LOVE Tris and I relate to her personality so much, but as soon as I met Four, I added him to my never ending list of fictional boyfriends. <3 I also really *SPOILER* miss Al. I actually shed a tear or two when I read that part in math class.

haha my list of fictional boyfriends....way too long to fit in this post. But anyway, i never really liked Al. I thought he was kinda weak willed and i actaully hated him when he helped them to like, assault her. And then he had the nerve to ask for her forgivness? and as if that wasn't enough, he just goes and jumps into the chasm. To me, that was just kinda selfish. Like "stuff isn't very good at the moment. I could try and make up for it and do my best to live my life. Nah, it would be easier to just jump in the chasm and let others deal with the consequences." I liked him at the start, but he lost all respect when he betrayed tris.

Christina and Uriah, hands down. I can relate to both of them in so many ways. On a side note, it's kind of awkward that I'm the only guy here.

Al was terrible *sorry , i just had to put that out there* his death made me feel sick and disgusted. as far as favourites. Tris is a wonderful character - she is so real - so yeah she has her faults but I thiink she was admirable and wonderful and amazing. I loved Four - he was so awesome , he was such a reliable , mysterious , truthful character - he was actually such a good person. I really liked that about him. Especially how he contrasted Erics loserness i also liked Christina and Will I just thought they were nice and i appreciated their cute little relationship in the middle of the scary Drama

I really liked Christina and Will's relationship, and wish it continued in Insurgent (I'm still confused... Will died, correct? Cause it didn't make it to obvious in the book). I also love Tris' mother... she's so badass!! :-)

Tris is a fantastic character, but, I dunno I really love Tori, actually. Even though we didn't see a lot of her I still feel like she was such a strong side character, she really gave a lot to the story and I really like minor characters..=P Also, Tris' mum, definitely. I really liked Uriah also, and did anyone feel like Eric was fairly one dimensional? I kind of wish there was more like.. I dunno, reason behind his baddy-ness.

I like Tris a lot, she was pretty cool. Tobias/Four is awesome though.
