About This Item
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue — Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is — she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are — and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves... or it might destroy her.
Reviews
*5 STARS*Holy crap, where have this book been all my life?This book was amazing... no amazing is an understatement. Despite the fact that I had so little time to read this past week, I managed to finish it in a decent amount of days.Characters were interesting, fresh and intriguing. Four wasn't your typical love interest. I mean, the first part of the book he insults Tris and berates her. I love how tough he is and how he sometimes lets his guard down and you see that sliver of softness in his personality. Tris kept surprising me. She was brave and strong, but also soft and sweet. She and Four made an awesome couple in my opinion. I liked how she wasn't drop-dead gorgeous or 6 feet tall- she was just perfect.The society in which this dystopia is set is very well done. The world building and the factions worked well together. I loved how every faction had a different dress-code (well kinda) and personality. Can I just mention how absolutely awesome the thought of the fear simulator is? I don't know why but I was crazy about it.I'm going to get my hands on the second book as soon as possible!
