Divergent

I liked this one. A lot more than I thought I would.

  Here's Goodreads Summary:
   http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8306857-divergent
             Beatrice "Tris" Prior has reached the fateful age of sixteen, the stage at which teenagers in Veronica Roth's dystopian Chicago must select which of five factions to join for life. Each faction represents a virtue: Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, and Erudite. To the surprise of herself and her selfless Abnegation family, she chooses Dauntless, the path of courage. Her choice exposes her to the demanding, violent initiation rites of this group, but it also threatens to expose a personal secret that could place her in mortal danger.


There's also a romance, which I didn't like. It doesn't fit into the story properly. Like when you try to jam a puzzle piece into the wrong spot.


The rest of it I liked. It's pretty fast paced and exciting, suspenseful. You just want to keep reading. Tris is a quirky character.


It shows that good characteristics (honesty, selflessness, bravery) can be bad if taken to an extreme.


Oh wait. I forgot about the ending.
It cuts off really quickly, with one short paragraph that doesn't even really make much sense. It's not even that meaningful. I actually turned the page, to find the Acknowledgments instead of the next chapter I was expecting.


Peace, Love, and 3.5 Stars


Candor - Honesty
Abnegation - Selflessness
Dauntless - Bravery
Amity - Peace
Erudite - Knowledge


Oh, and for those of you who've read it, my question is:
Who runs the trains?
