My
Review: Let me first just say that I don’t really like dystopian books, but
this is one of the best I have ever read. I think I don’t like those kinds of
books because I find them really un-realistic. But I need to get over that
thought because I am missing out on a lot of good reads. I find Beatrice as one
of the best female characters I have ever read about. She starts out being the
reserved type and always does what she is told. Then after the test that her
society takes when everyone turns sixteen, she takes a different path
completely. Which I love because it shows that she is willing to take a risk on
something new. While in the new faction she goes through a series of mini tests
in order to become a Dauntless. She ends up falling for Four, an experienced
Dauntless. What I love about their relationship is that it wasn’t an, I love
now we are going to marry kind of thing. They grew into each other and it was
more realistic. They new each other’s boundaries before they started anything.
A lot of action, mystery, and suspense are in this book. It is a must read!

Can I just say that I pushed you to read this for months!! Then I finally you read it! But I agree, other than The Hunger Games, this is one of the best dystopian/post-apocalyptic books there is on shelves. I highly recommend that everybody reads this book! - also read the second one in the series - Insurgent! (:
