Totally bad ass...

Totally reckless...

Totally awesome! This book (and the next, might I add) had me at the edge of my seat and set my adrenalin pumping, a work of pure genius! I managed to finish this book in three school days, it was that good.

In Beatrice's (Tris) world society is divided into five factions each one specializing in different things. It's the only way people think ...more

Time for a quick real review of this incredible book!

I absolutely 100% LOVED this book! I felt like there was so much world building and so much detail, that I could picture the divergent world perfectly! The characters are strong, brave, amazing, and real. The writing is absolutely beautiful! Truly amazing story, completely adored everything about this book, and I can't wait for the movie 2014!

My expectations were pretty low when I started this book. I had just finished Hunger Games and I forced myself to lower my expectations about this dystopian fiction which is so similar to Hunger Games.

I have to say that this was a little engaging and good if you ignore the cliches that run across this whole book' but its hard to do that.

I have to say that this book was amazing. It was a dstopian thriller... and a somewhat of a romance...oooohhhhh!

I love how Beatrice (Tris) transformed from a loser, nobody, lost girl to a badass, grunge, daredevil women. All of the characters were amazingly formated.

My favorite character by far would be Tobias. He was so mysterious and had layers and layers of hidden treasures. (view spoiler)and i also liked how he ended up with Tris.

BEWARE!~ LOVE TRIANGLE

Extremely well written and thought-provoking! An unusual and imaginative view of a possible future (for one city, anyway). I normally don't read anything quite this dark, but it kept me turning pages (and kept me up too late a couple of nights in a row!) The only reason I'm giving four instead of five stars is that it was more disturbing than I usually prefer in my pleasure reading. I know lots and lots of people like their books as dark and intense as possible, though, and if you're one of thos ...more

OMFGGG. Words can't describe how amazing this novel is. I mean I haven't been excited about a series like this since Hunger Games. I have fallen in love with the character's which is why it was hard when so many of them died. Off to Insurgent@@ ...more
