You write so beautifully and describe everything perfectly. I recently won this book in a giveaway and I've read the first few chapters. I'm sure I'll enjoy it from what you've said in your review and I've already warmed to Tris - I'd love a friend like her. And yeah, I agree that the Dauntless initiation is pretty dangerous - if they re-enact that in a film, I'll probably hide behind hands! Just reading about it made me squirm... Thanks for the wonderful review, Hilda. I look forward to reading more of your reviews in future :)Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592918949547677731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-60286793566563264272012-05-28T22:00:28.245+07:002012-05-28T22:00:28.245+07:00Thank you, Pragya! <3 Hehe, I didn't know h...Thank you, Pragya! <3 Hehe, I didn't know how to write about Four without getting into omg-I-love-you-marry-me mode.

You have said it all perfectly! I fell in love with this too when I first read it last year and think it may even be my favourite YA dystopian (after The Hunger Games, of course).

I loved how all the factions had once stood for something greater but their meaning and purpose had eroded with time. And I loved everything I learned about the Dauntless! The quote at the end is so beautiful, I loved it while reading Divergent as well! I like that Tris is strong in the truest sense, even when she's seen as the underdog and underestimated all the time. Brilliant review, Hilda <333Pooja.

If I want to continue reading, I buy the book. If not, it goes back on the shelf. I bought this book a few days ago. Haven't taken it out of the bag yet, 'cause I've got a queue of books for review, etc. But I know this will be a fabulous read.

And gosh, I know that sensation you first described. I hope I feel that way, too!

(I wish I could be Dauntless like Tris!) It was a VERY gray book, but in a beautiful and completely brilliant way :)<br /><br />Absolutely and totally AMAZING review, Hilda! <3 If you get that line engraved onto a bracelet, I would love to have one too! :')Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-83510266955340733872012-05-25T02:15:38.943+07:002012-05-25T02:15:38.943+07:00Wohoo ! :D

I agree...I am so glad you had fun with this, Hilda! I agree with you both about the characters and the pacing. I think my biggest issue was lack of background. I wanted to know about how this society came to be, but I've been told there are some answers in Insurgent, so I'm defintiely looking forward to that. I even own a copy. <br />On a side note, I see that you're planning to read Elemental soon. I am too, and I'm very excited. Can't wait to compare notes!<br />Lovely review, my darling.
