Awards: Publishers Weekly Best Book; SLJ Best Book
Series: Book 1 of 3 (Divergent)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Despite this being a much-talked about book last year, I managed to avoid knowing too much about the plot before I read it. So if you haven't read this one yet, let me keep it brief:
1. It's YA.
2. It's dystopian Chicago.
3. It's a little sci-fi.
4. It's the best book in its genre I've read since The Hunger Games.
5. It's awesome and well worth staying up into the wee hours for.

OH OH OH!! THANK YOU for not spoiling it, good girl. I don't know ONE THING about it and plan to keep it that way until I finally make two minutes to read it :)

7. May can't come soon enough.
8. Amen Melissa. :)
Dystopian Chicago and lots of positive reviews, sounds good to me. I'm doing the Dystopian Challenge this year and I've been on the look out for some suggestions.
