I had read the cover of this a few times & put it on my mental 'to buy' list, but I saw the upcoming movie trailer for this while at the cinema & knew I had to get my hands on it as soon as possible. This is absolutely brilliant, so much action & yet plenty of emotional turmoil thrown in for good measure. With characters the reader can believe in & identify with, this is a novel that you can get lost into in no time. It draws some parallels with what we already experience today & therefore can imagine how the world created by Veronica Roth could become our own.
Beatrice is facing the toughest decision of her life. Her world is divided into factions based on a populations beliefs for the reason war was rampant in the years gone by. These factions were created for peaceful co-existence, to eradicate the motives that caused war & create a harmonized world in it's place. Beatrice was born into one of these factions, but now at the blossoming age of 16 it is time for her to take the test of a lifetime & make the biggest decision she will ever make. Will she choose to stay in the faction to which she grew up, or does she betray her family & her faction by leaving them behind? And what impact will her choice have on her personally?
