So, if she is not supposed to look in a mirror, why would she look when her mom is cutting her hair? It is not like she needs to see in the mirror. Her mom is the one cutting the hair. I hope the reasoning behind the factions becomes clearer. It seems so unnecessary at this point & strange. Hoping this book gets better fast.

I don't even know what to say about this book except- where is the world building?

Questions- Who caught the girl that was 1st down the zipline from the 100 stories in the air? At the start of the book, Tris mentions synthetic or artificial food (can't remember which) & then later talks about fresh fruit. Which faction is the farmers/growers? Do they have electricty? Where do they get their gas? Trains run on what?They have microscopic transmitters but not enough material to finish paving roads?

Before everyone thinks I'm super hard on YA dystopian books, I absolutely loved Blood Red Road, Hunger Games, & Unwind so I'm not like a total YA book bitch. :)

hmmm...... very much like the action/fighting scenes in Hunger Games but without any real plot yet. I'm not sure where the story is going? It's action plenty but only a small hint of a plot.

Regardless, so her mom is cutting her hair (allowed only every three months) and this is the only time she can look in the mirror. Again, makes no sense. Why is it the girl getting a haircut gets to look in the mirror?
Ok, so tell me, am I analyzing these books too much?
Should I sit back and enjoy the ride?
This is what got me in trouble with Wither. I just think if an author is going to create a world, they need to explain it and make it make sense with their expanation. Now, I do admit, I'm only 55 pages in and by the look of most of the reviews, the book does get much better.
That really makes no sense to me at all. :( Maybe if they frown upon vanity... But then you run into the issue of letting them look into the mirror when they get their hair cut. That would violate that right there. Why else would you look in the mirror unless you cared if your hair looked good after it was cut?I know that vanity isn't the real issue, it's selflessness. That's just how my mind would work if I was reading it. I wouldn't be able to help myself from picking at these things that made no sense.

I'd do the same thing. Hopefully you're able to ignore them enough to enjoy it.
