Sixteen-year-old Beatrice must make a choice that will shape the rest of her life - she must choose her faction. Though she grew up in Abnegation, she simply cannot see herself living as Abnegation for the rest of her life. Yet choosing a different faction means betraying her family and losing everything she's ever known. 
 I quite enjoyed Divergent. The premise is a little brow-beaty, but it worked once I settled myself into a solid state of suspension of disbelief. I also felt that the ending was rather rushed. There's a slow exposition process, a mystery, a number of characters working on solving the mystery, and then the Big Bad just starts cackling and reveals the whole plan. The turn around from plotline to resolution felt too quick, too brutal (in a literary sense though, of course, it's brutal within the story as well). 
 All in all, I felt that the book would have benefited from another draft, but it was still a good bit of fun. I'll definitely be grabbing the next book in the series.
