Very interesting plot. Not a very tough main character, even with all the talks of bravery, she's just a small girl, right.

Distopian future has been done well in this first novel by Roth. I was quickly engaged in the story and with the characters, feeling their experiences and experiencing their struggles. Tris is a strong lead character, who embodies the best of all the factions in this sadly disparate world. I'm looking forward to book 2!

I became interested in the book after watching the trailer for the upcoming movie. I was not disappointed and it will fit nicely on a shelf next to the Hunger Games, Ender's Game, and Harry Potter. The location in a dystopian downtown Chicago gives it a little more character and suggests that the story takes place sometime in our own future. I couldn't put it down and am excited to read the next one!
