Divergent

I know I'm a little late to the game but I just got around to reading Divergent. I loved it. Dystopian books have been big for a while but this one has a unique take. Tris is fascinating and her relationship with Four is one of the few book-relationships I find believable. They don't just look at each other and fall in love (I'm looking at you Twilight). 

The relationships between the teenagers and parents is also realistic. When 16 year olds choose their futures, obviously, some will disappoint their parents. 

My only complaint is Tris' reactions to Peter and, later, Marcus. How can someone be so strong in the face of the government that has controlled everything her entire life but so frightened of a fellow iniate, and then she scared because of Four's fears.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
