This was the December 2011 pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove. I didn't really think I'd like it, but to my surprise, I really got into it!
At first, I wasn't feeling Tris too much - it felt like she was shaping up to be a really self-absorbed person - but once she got into the second phase of her initiation training, I began to identify with her a lot more. I enjoyed her growth throughout the story as she figured out who she really was, and who she wanted to be.
This is my first YA dystopian novel and I'm sure it won't be my last because I am interested in the sequel, INSURGENT. I'd like to continue following Tris. She had some really horrible things happen in her life and that should make for a very interesting character as she gets older.
I also enjoyed the faction-based society, totally bought into it.
This one gets a solid B. Pretty good read.
