Divergent

Divergent (Divergent, #1)Divergent by Veronica Roth

AR Reading Level: 4.8
On the library stacks: YA Fiction
Awards: Publishers Weekly Best Book; SLJ Best Book
Series: Book 1 of 3 (Divergent)
Appropriate for: Ages 14+

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 :)

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.
