Summary:

At the age of 16 boys and girls are gathered to the Choosing Ceremony where they are going to choose which faction they will be. They take aptitude tests to see where they belong; dauntless, candor, abnegation, amity and erudite. Once they choose they cannot go back and worst case scenarios you might end up factionless. Beatrice’s test results were inconclusive and she doesn’t know which faction to choose; stay in abnegation or take a different path.

 

 

Writing:

The story is from Tris’ point of view. We follow her throughout the book and the way it is written makes it a lot more interesting. It’s like you’re following her, as if there were cameras around that followed her and she’s talking to you telling about how she feels and what she sees. I like this kind of writing because you somehow feel closer to the character this way.

 

 

Best part:

For me, I loved their “training” when they first arrived as Dauntless. They had to train and make sure they got good scores and those who were at the bottom would be “kicked out” and become factionless and this part was filled with action and drama and it was just exciting to read all about it. You got to know the rest of the people who were there and what it’s like to live there and it was just interesting to read it.

 

 

Worst part:

Honestly, there wasn’t anything in particular that bothered me or was “bad” to read about, nothing made me feel that I couldn’t continue reading the book so I don’t have much to say on this part, he he ^^;;
