"I am selfish. I am brave."

I don't know why I'm quoting this particular line.But that seems realistic.So realistic.

I've wanting to read this book forever.I finally ordered it online and the book reached me few days ago.I started reading it yesterday at one a.m. I have to say this was by far one of the best books I've ever read.I love this way more than "The Hunger Games" and I love the Hunger Games,so.This book at times forced me to compare it with The Hunger Games.I couldn't help it!

I loved this book and every freaking thing about it.I got this different paperback edition and I love it more than the original hardcover one.From the moment I started reading in this book,I was in Divergent land.I could imagine the places so easily in my head,ah!This didn't have to end,the book should've had 400 more pages.I wanna read the series.Thanks to a lot of people on the internet,the whole series was wonderfully ruined for me.But,I will still read it because I love it!The plot,the characters,Divergent land and those cool simulation stuff!wow!hats off,Veronica Roth.You are right below J.K.Rowling in my list(That means you are my second most favourite author!!yay!).

Unlike most of the annoying female protagonists in dystopian novels,Tris is awesome!I just love her.I love the fact that she's not perfect,that she is selfish(at times) and selfless(rest of the time).I love the fact that she talks and is not weak or depressed or stuff like that.She is normal and is an understandable and a reasonable "brave" female protagonist.She does stuff that I wanted her to do.I was like "No,Tris,don't do that" and she did the exact same thing that normal people would do.I loved her even more after she fell in love with Four.The feels!!!!!!!She is a great narrator,too.
That brings me to Four.I mean,how awesome is he?Now tell me,Veronica Roth,have you been reading my mind?These are the kind of characters that I want in every single dystopian novel that I read.They are not perfect,they have their own flaws...They are not pretty or handsome,yet they are sooooo attractive.I don't know what I just said.Um,okay,I feel a bit disoriented after I read this book.

I wanna read something like this now.I hope "City of Bones" satisfies me after this wonderful experience.I wanted to write more about this,but I think I'll spoil it for people who haven't read the book yet!That's it for now..I would love to re-read this book sometime soon!I won't watch the movie.I personally feel that the actors are nothing like the characters and I don't like it when the movie ruins the books..aaaaaahhhhhh!Bye,I should go now!

Love,Gouri :)
