From the publisher:
Beatrice "Tris" Prior has reached the fateful age of sixteen, the stage at which teenagers in Veronica Roth's dystopian Chicago must select which of five factions to join for life. Each faction represents a virtue: Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, and Erudite. To the surprise of herself and her selfless Abnegation family, she chooses Dauntless, the path of courage. Her choice exposes her to the demanding, violent initiation rites of this group, but it also threatens to expose a personal secret that could place in mortal danger. Veronica Roth's young adult Divergent trilogy launches with a captivating adventure about love and loyalty playing out under most extreme circumstances.
Make no mistake, this book is not for the feint of heart. It's a gripping, thrilling tale. I didn't have any expectations of this book, other than a student's recommendation. It's hard to not make comparisons between this book and The Hunger Games. There are similarities. But not really. My only complaint is that it's rather violent. I'm not jumping up and down raving but I really did like this book.
