Description : 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.

Review: Finally I have read this book after days of longing and curiosity.A big thanks to my friend who lend me this.
First of all,I learned many great things about this book. It's such a wonderful thing how this manage to make me realize all the virtues in life. For me this is not just another dystopian novel , because it's a pleasure reading this book. It's also an easy read. Plus, this made me like and want to have tatoos!
The protagonist,Tris is a fighter and a leader. The world where she lives values the different virtues way too much, thus group the same people who values each virtue altogether . I somehow envy that kind of world where everything is organized. But of course, it's dystopia where everything is controlled,so forget the words I said earlier.
Many people said that this is like Hunger Games. But for me, it's definitely not. Let's just say HG is much violent. All in all, this is a great book! I can't wait to read its sequel Insurgent.
