Meet Tris, she is 16 and as the book starts, like all the people who live in her world she knows that very soon she will be making the decision which will affect the rest of her life. She will choose which tribe she will belong to. Each of the tribes has different characteristics from warlike folk who defend the parameter of the country to those of a mellow disposition who care for the sick and take care of others. Beatrice makes her choice and chooses a life of danger, excitement and experiences totally different to those she has grown up with. From day one she is thrilled, shocked, scared and quite alone. Life in this faction is a competition and only the strong survive. There is nobody she can trust, or is there?
This book is about making choices which will change your life and being strong. It is the first book in the trilogy and the second book is now in the library too. Dystopian novels are huge in the library and this is one of the best. Highly recommended.
