Summary: Set in another dystopian society, America has been separated into five different factions, each focusing on a different virtue that is most important to them--Candor (honesty), Dauntless (bravery), Abnegation (selflessness), Erudite (intelligence), and Amity (peace). At the age of sixteen, everyone must take a test that determines which faction they most belong in. But for Beatrice Prior, a sixteen year old Abnegation, has a decision that is a little harder than the decisions that will be made by all of the others. Will Beatrice's secrets come out and ruin her future, or will she choose to be confined by the barriers created by the factions?
Review: This novel was thrilling and intense, filled with amazing characters. Beatrice and Four are such complex characters, yet everyone can find a similar trait in either one. The plot is so unique and thought through that you will be turning the pages throughout the whole novel (and the sequel Insurgent). With romance, adventure, and mystery Veronica Roth has done a fantastic job with this story.
Recommendation: Ages 14+ because there is lots of violence and fighting, and some more mature content.
