Ok so I love Dystopian or Post-Apocalyptic type literature.... And if you have read the Hunger Games series, this one is a lot like it. I just started reading the first book this week. It's only about 500 pages so it goes quick. From Wikipedia: This story takes place in the city of Chicago in the near future. The city is divided into 5 factions: Abnegation, meant to uphold selflessness; Amity, meant for the peaceful; Candor, meant for the honest; Dauntless, meant for the brave; and Erudite, intended for the knowledgeable. On a given day each year, all sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that will tell them for which faction they are best suited. After receiving the results of their test, they must decide whether to remain with their family or transfer to a new faction. Anyway, once they go to their chosen faction they undergo initiation. That's where it gets crazy. That's about all I can say without saying too much. I will probably finish the first one tonight. Three books in all. The movie comes out in May.
