This gets three stars for the moments that were funny and made me literally laugh out loud. Entirely too predictable and self-aware for my liking.

5.0

I really enjoyed this viewpoint of love’s impact on a dystopian world, and what humans decide to do about it. The main character faces several of the types of conflict while progressing through this coming of age, and it was done well - I liked watching her struggle and problem solve all the way to the end.

The devious characters and their motives were much more entertaining to me than the groundwork that is Divergent.
