I give this book.......
4.9/5 Stars!
This Book ALMOST deserves 5 stars, but NOTHING is as good as The Hunger Games, which is a 5 star book so I had to give this book 4.9 stars..... :)
Ummmm....... Here's a quick Goodreads summary......
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series—dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
And here's a quick book trailer...

At the beginging of the book, I found it kind of hard to keep straight the 5 factions, but after a couple chapters I had it down. If your looking for a book similar to The Hunger Games, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! This is the very first book that Veronica Roth has ever written and I thought it was a masterpeice. I do beleive this is supposed to be a trilogy, the second book will be released in 2012, and its title is INSURGENT! YEEEEE so excited (Happy Dance!)
