For me honestly I don't think this book lived up to my expectations. I liked it, but its not something I would rave about. I think the biggest problem I had was connecting with Tris, she was hard to understand,emotional and just a flat character. I love the idea of this book but divergent was just a little too long for my taste. this book didn't wow me but I did like it. The first few chapters are my favorite parts about the book but it kinda went downhill for me at the mid-part of the book. Just don't go into this book thinking it will be like the hunger games. Other than tris and four, i thought all the other characters were great and very descriptive.

Definitely falls in line with the usual young adult tropes but addresses some deeper political and ideological issues, while keeping a lot of the main character's focus on the love interest.
