This book has been popping up all over my radar. I have gotten emails about it from Barnes and Noble and from GoodReads.com. So I have taken the hint and have placed it on my ever growing books I want to read list. (I swear I will never finish my list before I die because it just keeps getting longer and longer)
I want to share this book with you before I read it then once I read it I will share my thoughts on the book as well.
As you may have figured out I am apparently a fan of the dystopian style books. I enjoy a good story of ordinary people overcoming the obstacles that life has thrown at them and coming out on top. I do believe I truly fell in love with this style after reading the Hunger Games.
Without any more explanation from me here is the description if this soon to be best seller.
According to goodreads.com the synopsis of this books is as follows;
"In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her."
