Book Review:
See. SEE! I told you I wouldn't like it. I should've never read this because I know the paths of these kind of books are not what I'm into.Book Description:

Book Review:
Now what I mean by that is I don't like books that has the world revolving around one human being...or animal. It's unattractive. I mean I liked Beatrice sometimes when she was real...not when she was portrayed as a diamond on top of a pyramid. I refuse to believe that she was the only one of anything spectacular, she was normal enough to me.
Then there was the Factions. I thought that idea was neat (still do) but then it got too long and repetitive. I would've probably liked the book lots more if the author, Veronica Roth, hadn't made human personalities seem so complicated. I felt like the story was burnt and thought 99% of the characters were awkward and stupid, they weren't really proportioned with the storys' meaning.
Lots of cheap-predictable stuff going on in the story as well.
The only reason why I didn't give this ONE star was because I liked the beginning and the author knows how to write in a good flow.
