Our future society? Made up of 5 factions that you must be a part of or you'll be part of the unwanted factionless. At 15, Beatrice, later known as Tris, has to decide between her parents faction or something different, something more. Belonging part of the selfless faction just isnt quite what she's all about. How will she adjust to this new and exciting faction where being proud, strong and brave is what its all about? Including learning how to fight and defend. Not only that but there's more to all the societies, a secret, a secret that Tris is part of and not in a way that people want to see her stay alive. I can't wait to read Insurgent!

This is another one that I probably wouldn't have ever read if it hasn't been free, followed by an occasion some time later when it seemed the most interesting-sounding thing hanging around on the Kindle when I happened to be bored. The plot reminds me if Dan Brown to some extent, although I know he certainly wasn't the first to write novels along such lines. Religious secrets, conspiracies, secret societies, competing spies, and a great deal of violence are all tossed together. I wanted the answer to a couple of questions just barely enough to keep reading, but I figured out all the big mysteries long before the last chapter. I think the book would have been much better if it had been edited down to be much shorter.
