The Divergent series will alway bring comfort to me (except for Allegiant when needs to get thrown out.)

I really like this story: a society divided into factions, young people having to choose where they want to spend the rest of their lives (knowing that if they choose a different faction than the one they born in it means having no more connections with their families and friends)... it is so cruel, such a difficult decision for 16 year olds to make. Even after they choose their faction, there are still the risk of not acing the tests and become Factionless (yikes!).
I really would like to know how different factions treat, and process, their new members. Since Tris chooses the Dauntless we never knows what happens in the other factions (and my curiosity kicks in).
This book is fun and really enjoyable. The characters are interesting and relatable - even the bad ones - and I rediscover my crush on Four (but it feels kinda creepy now, that I'm 30 years old... oh well!).

I thought I would hate it because I'm kind of over YA dystopian trilogies. But to my utter surprise I actually really enjoed it.
The division of society into fractions based on character traits is not the most original idea but I just went with it and I liked the way the plot progressed throughout the book. I liked the evaluation of the characters at the beginning to find out in which fraction they belong, absolutely loooooved the training aspect which made up the majority of the book. Liked the characters and their dynamics. Four is my new all time favourite, protect him at all costs. But I was so surprised that I didn't find Tris annoying, I actually liked her a lot too. Same with the romance plot. That was actually pretty cute and so well done. There were some things that were pretty obvious from the beginning but some of the twists actually surprised me, mostly because I had NO idea where the plot was going....
The weakest part was probably the world building for me so I'm curious if this will be exploed a little more in the next book(s).
