This is a great start to a great trilogy. Beatrice Prior lives in a futuristic version of Chicago. The world as she knows it is divided into five parts which are called factions. Each faction values a different trait. Abnegation, where Beatrice was born and brought up along with her brother Caleb, is the home of the selfless. Dauntless, a city of black clothed rebels, values the brave. The faction of Erudite houses the wise and intelligent. Candor is the place for honest and truthful people, and Amity is full of peaceful humans. On every child's sixteenth birthday, they choose what faction they will spend the rest of their life in, although first they must take a test to determine which faction they ultimately belong in and are most likely to choose. But Beatrice's results come back inconclusive. They call this Divergent, which means you cannot be controlled. When Beatrice makes the choice of a different faction and renames herself Tris, she must get through a new life that contains many ups, downs and new people, and save civilization as she knows it in the end.

In the world of Beatrice Prior- it's all rules and the enviornment is extrememly strict. Don't go beyond/outside the fence, don't look in the mirror, don't talk when an adult is talking, wait for the alpha to arrive before dinner, and especially.... be a stiff, talk like a stiff, forever a stiff- ABNEGATION.... is just ONE of FIVE FACTIONS. Abnegation- Stiff, but selfless Erudite- Smart, but cruel Amity- Friendly, but strict Candor- Truthful, but too honest Dauntless- FIERCE, but violent JOIN the world of Beatrice! Her brother, Caleb, has always been suspicious- always up to something- all day stuck in his room in the dark, doing something... turns out on the day, he betrays Abnegation!!! He dropped his blood- traitor blood into the filthy bowl of Erudite! I mean, yeah- she shouldn't be talking because she too is a traitor by going to Dauntless, but YIKES! I mean what?! Her very own brother chose WOW I mean, HOW Did he choose ERUDITE!?????? Well, Beatrice's parents defintly didn't talk to ANY of them anymore.................................. Well, after that, she ran and jogged with the Dauntless, and soon, they had to jump into a MOVING train!!! Someone fell, and that's how you end up factionless then, she is the first girl to jump in the building. She is famous now. Suddenly, a handsome boy with dark brown hair and dark eyes and a emotionless face watched her carefully as he asked, "Congratulations, your the first person to be dauntless, what's your name?" She said, "Tris. Tris Prior. I'm from Abnegat-" She started. BOUNCE! A tall boy with hazel- green eyes smirked at Tris and the boy- sneering, "You mean your a STIFF?" That's Peter. "I'm Four- your leader for you trainees- and I'm Four because I have four fears- and ONLY Four fears." ----------------------------------------------------------------------Tris and Four (AKA: Tobias) later end up together as a couple and very cute! ;) Peter tries to kill her.
