Helpful Score: 1

When I first picked up Divergent, I was pleasantly surprised to be absorbed into a really creative world. While I didn't love this one quite as much as the first, the twist at the end can't be beat. I got frustrated with the characters throughout the book--backing and forthing, not communicating, being frustrating and whiny--but then I had to remind myself that they're teenagers, not adults. And compared to the adults in the book, they're the ones with the brains and guts. So that's pretty awesome. Kids are flawed--but they also have the potential to make the world a better place than it is. That's a pretty great message to take away from a YA novel.
