I'm not sure if my younger self would have appreciated this book more than my older self. I'm in my early 30s and I still enjoy reading young adult novels, this novel just didn't have enough action or excitement for me.
I wanted to see what the hype was and why this particular series was made into a movie franchise. This really wasn't as exciting or good as I expected it to be and therefore I feel let down and I don't have the desire to finish the series so I don't think I'll find out what happens in the story and I'm not that let down by not finding out all the secrets to this series.
I'm giving this 3 stars out of 5

as for the book it's self, i liked it more than i thought i would. there's so many parts where i couldn't put it down and i really like seeing the inner turmoil in characters during choosing day and the aptitude test and then following along to see the consequences of their choices. some of the things that were revealed were so unexpected which was crazy. i also enjoyed that the love story isn't a focal point but at some parts it was to the point where i almost forgot it was even a thing. but overall these are very minor flaws that did not change my mind. 5/5 from me

there is strong character development in this book which is very important to the story line. i wasn’t sure what to expect of this book at first as i just picked it off the shelf and decided to buy it as i was in a reading slump and just wanted something to set me off on my book marathon again and this certainly surprised me.
i purchased the second book ‘insurgent’ before i was even half way into the first book, so i think that speaks for itself.
