Review

When I first started reading this I was like YES! Another dystopian book! I bet it will be full of action and awesomeness like The Hunger Games! I was a little peeved that it resembled The Hunger Games but hey thats how the trend goes. There is the Amity, the kind, thoughtful, bright. There is the Erudite, the smart, scholar, planner. There is the Candor, the truthful, pointblank, curious. There is the Dauntless, the brave, fiery, ready to fight. Then There is Tris from the Abnegation, the boring, selfless, invisible. Abnegation takes of the most positions in the counsel becuase of their selflessness towards the factionless. Tris is tired of the constant boring life of never getting to look in mirrors, dressing in grey, oh and this one other problem. She got her test results and they are dangerous. Divergent? What does this mean? Tris is stuck in between Dauntless and Abnegation! Being Dauntless means jumping off 10 story buildings, fighting until unconsiousness, beating out her opponents, being called stiff, and getting attacked in the night. Abnegation means boring, boring, boring. What do you think she chooses?
Read this book!
