Excellent! I really can't describe why this book is good - and I felt the same way about Divergent. It just is. I can say the usual "couldn't-put-it-down" and whatnots but that is a "description" that really doesn't always convince 
 me 
 to read a book. Even when I described Divergent to people to try to get them to read it, it didn't really sound as appealing as I'd like. (But then again I had that problem with Hunger Games at first. Either "kids killing each other" appealed my customers or repulsed them. Usually the latter.. because they were respectable parents and all. No inbetween. Maybe my descriptions need a little work...) 
 It's just good. Take my word on it. 
 Even my mom agrees. 
 (She is a tough judge of [book] character.) 
 I can say one thing I really admire about this series: Veronica Roth is not afraid to kill people off. Even the cute, little, fuzzy characters that you hold dear. (Okay, no one is fuzzy. I'm just emphasizing.) I appreciate an author who does not feel the need to wrap things up in a pretty bow, especially YA authors.
