I honestly wasn't expecting much from this book. I assumed it was just going to be another dystopia, and I'm not the biggest fan of dystopias, even after the Hunger Games (although Scott Westerfeld's Uglies will always and forever be my introduction to the genre). I just don't always like the constant anxiety I'm riddles with when exposed to a world that has no guaranteed hope of being saved. However, this story blew me away. I'm not really sure exactly what it was. At first the divisions of society made me angry. I thought, "How is being reckless brave?" And then Roth answered me. It's not. Others have the same questions. We are in a dystopia after all. One of my closest professors' favorite quote is "Identity freezes the gesture of thinking," and I think this book must have been written with that in mind. 
 Now, I'm not saying anything in the plot overly surprised me, but it didn't have to. Tris was an incredible narrator. She was honest. At times her actions made better show of her character than her internal monologue, but then again, isn't that pretty universally true? Tris knew she wasn't perfect, and she wasn't trying to be. I commend that. 
 I can't wait to see what's up next.
