My two elder children enjoy Divergent but they are 14 and 11 and the 11 year-old has only seen the first film, not read it. I've only seen the first film not read it as well. As YA futuristic dystopias go (and I like YA futuristic dystopias) I liked it more than The Hunger Games but The Maze Runner is the one I want to read book 2 of to find out what happens next. But I wouldn't have bothered with any of these if I hadn't had children talking about them.
