14 years old is closer to being too old for Divergent than too young for it, though it certainly isn't too old and 12-16 is more or less the target demographic.

25m and I read it last year. Idk about the whole "being too old" for it. Anyone can enjoy it at any age. I liked it alot.

Don't take it in a judgemental or demeaning way, I still read Roald Dahl books where the target demographic is even lower than for Divergent. Rather, I'm being general, in saying that likely most 25 year olds won't enjoy Divergent in the way a teenager would, and likewise with Roald Dahl.

I'm glad others enjoyed it. Divergent actually has the prize 'Worst book I have ever read' for me. No shame, it's very cool how different two people's tastes can be, and I'm glad other people loved it.

Im all for others opinions, but If divergent is the worst book you have ever read, I doubt you've read many books. I can understand why someone doesn't like it, or think it's bad. But worst book?

After you said that, I no longer have any wish to speak with you.

My literature class found out about the Hunger Games and the Divergent series in highschool because our teacher would come to school “hungover” from reading the entire series the night before. It didn’t happen often, but when she found one she loved she would binge. As a bookworm, I respected that.
