Dense, allusive work from Sinclair. Not an altogether successful novel, but passionate. I found you have to read the majority of his sentences twice. Hence why it only got two stars.
I love the plethora of dystopian novels that seem to be flooding the "new releases" section of all bookstores and online book sellers. In that mass flood, I find it hard to find novels that really stand out. This book is a definite STAND OUT! We have the setting of a world gone awry, segregation based on factions and in the midst of all that a teenager just trying to find her own voice and who she really is. This is the story of Beatrice or "Tris" as she comes soon to be known, her family, her decisions and most of all how those decisions affect her world. I really feel like I can't divulge anymore without spoiling it, so I won't. I will say that it is full of heart tugging situations that lead to a lot of difficult decisions. There is unexpected romance and injustice that makes you want to scream! I found myself thinking about the plot and the characters long after I finished it. There are very few books that inspire that in me. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up asap! I can easily see this being one of the best reads of 2011.
I hate to read Skippyjon Jones books outloud. I know many people including my son love these but they are just not my favorite books. This one came with an audio CD so I turned the pages as the author read the book. Much better to hear someone else read it.
