So yeah this is a dystopian science fiction novel (kinda like the Hunger Games I suppose). Its set in Chicago in the future, where there are 5 factions: Abnegation, Erudite, Dauntless, Candor, and Amnity, which everyone is sorted into at 16. Once sorted you remain in that faction for life. If you don't match any one faction then you're divergent. Its gotten decent reviews from the press, and at least half the people I know on Tumblr are going mad about how good it is.

I'm about halfway through the first chapter and its actually really good so far.

Spoiler:



The rights have also been sold to Summit for a film adaptation.

Just finished this. Absolutely fantastic book, even if the last couple chapters were a bit heart wrenching.

It's an amazing book, Niall! I absoultely love it! I finished it very quickly as it had me gripped from beginning to end.

I'm halfway through the follow up, Insurgent, at the moment!

Its fantastic isn't it?! I finished both books in the space of a week. I couldn't put them down!

There's a massive cliffhanger at the end of Insurgent though its going to kill you.

The Hunger Games obviously, but this is a very, very close second.

I'm only on page 20-something of Mockingjay and THG Trilogy isn't even that good. Catching Fire was really dull and if Mockingjay doesn't get good soon I am just going to give up. This sounds better.
