I would recommend that everyone even remotely interested in YA Dystopia should pick this book up at some point. Experiencing the book for the first time is a memorable experience, one that a lot of people can get something from.

I still enjoy the main plot of the factions, Divergence, mystery of rumours of overthrowing the government, and Four/Tris' relationship.
The writing is ok with a fairly fast pace, but can be repetitive, especially around Tris' thoughts and feelings.
It's a great third part, fast paced, exciting and emotional.
The main thing that annoys me is despite Tris
Overall a decent dystopian, YA novel and leaves you intrigued for the next in the series.

I'm not sure if my younger self would have appreciated this book more than my older self. I'm in my early 30s and I still enjoy reading young adult novels, this novel just didn't have enough action or excitement for me.
I wanted to see what the hype was and why this particular series was made into a movie franchise. This really wasn't as exciting or good as I expected it to be and therefore I feel let down and I don't have the desire to finish the series so I don't think I'll find out what happens in the story and I'm not that let down by not finding out all the secrets to this series.
I'm giving this 3 stars out of 5

World building makes no sense. There's no way that kind of divide would work for two weeks let alone years.
I don't understand why and how Tris and Four like each other soo much. They both come from the same faction and they're both repressed and apparently that's enough for them. They were interesting when they're literally 20cm apart with all the classical tropes.
The most important thing to remember is that Tris is short. And she likes to remind us of that fact every 5 minutes. Especially if she's close to Four.
Also what kind of nickname is a number? Ofc he's glad she uses his real name, no one want to be called by a number. But Dauntless are known for their strength not their brain.
