Divergent by Veronica Roth

I was going to wait to start the Divergent series until all the books were out but I kept seeing such great reviews about it, I couldn't wait. I loved Divergent and can't wait for the second book.
There are plenty of comparisons to The Hunger Games. I can see the similarities. But there were plenty of differences so I didn't feel like I was reading The Hunger Games 2. Tris' world is divided into factions-Dauntless, Candor, Amity, Erudite, and Abnegation. Tris is conflicted. She can't act like how she was raised to be. She craves excitement, something different than the selfless existence she was raised in. But she sees the merits of her faction. I actually liked how the factions were divided. I loved the world Roth created. It held a lot of similarity to our world now except there was a disaster that created this new factioned society. I could really see Tris' world. Roth made Tris' world so real and complex.
I recommend this to anyone who likes a good dystopian story. I'm looking forward to Insurgent, the second in the series.
