I just didn't like her. She is my top unlikable character so far. I found her selfish and boring.<br /><br />Even so, I glad that others can enjoy the book.

As much as I love dystopians, the hype about it is probably what made me buy it, but also not want to read it right away. I was afraid I'd hate it. But like you, I loved it, too!

I remember being nervous about the hype, because so often that makes it impossible for a book to live up to my expectations, but Divergent totally delivered. I agree, it's better than The Hunger Games, and the romance is far more passionate and intense. I also like that there's no love triangle! Fantastic review!
