4 of 5 stars

I finally got around to reading this book, because it's the rule at my house that we read the book before we see the movie. I really liked it! This is one of those times I wish that goodreads had 1/2 star increments. I would give this book 4 1/2 stars. There were only a few things that bugged me about the world in Divergent, but it stopped me from giving it 5 stars. Overall it was a quick read that I didn't want to put down. My teen daughter also loved it!
