Divergent

Thanks to Isabella Jennings for recommending this title to me.  Divergent has been a fun ride.  The main character, Tris, spends her time trying to make sense out of her new environment as a member of the Dauntless group.  She shows an amazing aptitude for navigating the troubled waters of a futuristic society gone wrong.

This book is similar to Hunger Games in that we have a female lead who has to battle her way to a satisfactory conclusion.  I suppose the more you read, the more it is hard to find plot lines that don't resemble some other work.

The more I read, the more I realize that the most difficult part is being able to and a story well.  Veronica Roth deserves credit for making a good run at a great ending.  I will give this one three paws up.  For a lot of the story I was pulled in as Tris navigates from one test to the next.  Then at the end everything seems to happen at once.
