This a a great book if you want to get into reading! I read this book about a month ago and it showed me that reading can be fun and not just Something that you have to do for school! We follow a character called tris through this dystopian society. I truly LOVE this book and this series!

Literally could not put this book down. 

As someone who watched the films first and loved them, I can confidently say the books are SO much better. I loved all the little details and plot points that the film missed and just the description of Tris’ emotions that couldn’t be translated to film. 

One piece of advice I would give if you are reading this after watching the films is that the characters of Tris and especially Four are (in my opinion) very different to the books compared to the films. I would recommend starting the books with this in mind and you will enjoy it and relate to the characters better. 

Even if you haven’t watched the films, oh my goodness I would recommend this book to anyone. Cant wait to read the next one.
