This book was a fun read that kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. There was a lot of action,suspense, and touches of romance. I am looking forward to reading more books in the series.

Unusually I broke my general rule of not reading books that I've seen the movie of first. I saw Divergent on DVD over the Christmas break, and while I sort of enjoyed it I also picked some holes in it.

Aside from the writing, I really do love Tobias. He might be perfect? But that's just my opinion.

Read this really quickly. It wasn't a heavy read and I loved the pacing and the fact the author didn't submerge us in pointless details. Great character development with Tris.
