Apparently, my sappiness knows no bounds as this was yet another book that made me cry at the end. In fact, it was the kind of crying that turned my eyes into little slits and made my husband pat me awkwardly on the shoulder and say "It's only a book. It's OK."
It's funny, when I first started reading it, I didn't think the society sounded so bad. You don't have to date. You don't have to make any career decisions. You don't have to cook dinner. It sounded like a vacation!

The plot was interesting, but the setting were too much for me; to stomach giving this a higher rating.
I thought the world that Aliie Condie created was one hundred percent believable. I found the plight of our heroine very intriguing, and I can't wait to get my hands on the second book in the series.

They spend like 100 pages passing around parts of a poem and climbing a hill. Until the last three chapters it lacks any real action. I read some reviews comparing it to The Hunger Games, so I may have started it expecting something different because it was nothing like Hunger Games. I really wanted to like this book because so many people I follow gave it great reviews, but I just didnt.
I like the idea of this story, but there was almost no plot until the very end of the book. I can't say that I care much about the characters or the romance. I am interested in knowing more about the society and what is happening there, however.

Wow! I loved this book! It was a mix of the the Hunger Games meets the Bachelor. I like the feisty female lead character. Can't wait to read the next one!
