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. :)

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?

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.

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.

Ok, I read your updates up to my page # and well, you are right. Is it bad for me to say that I'm glad someone else had a hard time at the beginning of this book? I look at all the 5 star reviews and I keep thinking....this book must get really spectacular later since right now, it is missing so much- like major world building and character development!
