Summary:

 In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she’s chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she’s kept hidden from everyone because she’s been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her

My Thoughts:

I read these books before the movies came out, I have to say that I really enjoyed it.

I was sucked in to the dystopian world and I didn’t want to leave it. I did have only one issue with this book an that it was kind of slow in the beginning. When it did pick up I was hooked.

This book made me laugh a few times.

I absolutely loved Tris, shes an amazing strong brave character. She was able to take the lead on things, even with all the things that were tossed her way she was still able to be strong and not let anything phase her. I loved reading her story to see where she was going to go.

This being the second dystopian series that I have read I was surprised that I liked it so much.
Roth does an amazing job. Everyone should read this series. You will also fall in love with it.
