Divergent, by Veronica Roth (Divergent #1)

Synopsis:
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, 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. 

Divergent (Divergent, #1)That book left me speechless. I mean, how can someone have thought of that? After The Hunger Games, that's the beginning of the trilogy every teenage in this world will read. That's what happens when books are like this, even people who never open a book try and read it. And then they love it. And they thank me for recommending it. Just like it happened with The Hunger Games. 
The way Veronica Roth explains what Tris is feeling, the way it looks like she has everything planned since the beginning but there's no way we're going to guess the end of it, it's wonderful. It's a good book to read if you need action, love, and things happening at the perfect moment, not having to wait for centuries for the next thing to happen. 
Which faction would you choose? Candor, Erudite, Dauntless, Amity or Abnegation?
