I'm re-reading this to prepare for Allegiant (book 3) and have decided this book deserves no less than 5 stars. I'm such a huge fan of the Divergent series and after taking a year off, watching to production of the movie, the cast, the author, the fandom, I realized just how good this series is to me. I've read a lot of books between then and now and I totally understand why this series has taken off like it has. The attachment to the characters is out of this world. The strength in the main character, the plot twists, the depth of the characters relationships to each other, it's all just too good for words.
I am counting down the hours till the third and final book comes out and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Thank you Veronica Roth for creating this story for us to live in vicariously.
