I started choking on my cereal when I got to the part about you being convinced you would die by escalator. Most of the comments you make in your reviews amuse me. I really loved Divergent but I haven't gotten around to reading Insurgent yet. Four was definitely a highlight for me, I love him.

This is the kind of book that as soon as I put it down I was texting friends, demanding that they read it. <br /><br />I'd probably be Candor or Amity because conflict for me is me is NO BUENO... and also I'm a terrible liar so being in Candor would eliminate any white lie needs even.<br /><br />(Also, your use of gifs=FLAWLESS)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983374673781340318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-77086733569892710982013-01-14T21:57:08.796-05:002013-01-14T21:57:08.796-05:00OmyGod, omyGod! You said EVERYTHING I thought whil...OmyGod, omyGod! You said EVERYTHING I thought while reading. I was very much unimpressed with the beginning of Divergent. Even after Tris made the leap into Dauntless (haha, see what I did there?), I couldn't break out of the feeling that everything was very formulaic of a Dystopian novel. Then... I don't know what happened. It got GOOD. I love Four. He's amazing sauce. I want to pour him all over my food and eat him right up. And now I sound creepy.<br /><br />I would have to be Divergent/Factionless, with the ultimate choice of being in Amity. My 3 would be Amity, Erudite, and Abnegation. I am all about being friendly, but I have a temper and a love for arguing. I love reading and learning, but I'm stubborn and don't like to do it on anyone's time but my own. I love to give, but like you I'm too selfish to be selfless. I would be miserable. I can't wait to read what you think about Insurgent!Dorothy Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957186943801380768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-37574852778463722492013-01-14T19:18:33.260-05:002013-01-14T19:18:33.260-05:00Love your review with the perfect GIFs!

I think I read Divergent at just the right time--it was definitely gaining popularity, but it hadn't quite yet exploded onto everyone's favorite lists, so it was popular enough that I went into it with positive thinking, but not so much that it felt weighty with its expectations. I'm not sure what faction I'd be in. Definitely not Candor or Amity. I like peace and friendship but not at the expense of doing the right thing when called for. I think I might have a *small* Dauntless streak, but not enough to actually be Dauntless. I'd probably be Erudite in a non-corrupt form or more likely, Abnegation.

And caps. Caps are my life. But anyways, I really need to reread this because I tried reading Insurgent but it had been TOO long since I read Divergent that I had no idea what the heck was going on. But Four? Oh sweet merciful cupcakes, I love him. I have the same thought process as you with the Factions. Although, I might be a little better with Dauntless, but...probably not.

I really liked this book. I didn't love it, but I can see why everyone does. If I had to choose a faction, I think I'd choose Dauntless. I don't really fit in any of the factions completely (but who does?), but out of all of them, I think I'd fit in that one the most.

And ahh. Everything was so great :) And yeah. The ending.. so perfect, yet so awful. I didn't love Insurgent quite as much, but I did love it :) I would be Dauntless. I hope. Or, maybe like you said, Amity. Except that I'm not all that happy most of the time ;p Anyway. Did you finish Graceling yet? Because I read it after I had read Divergent.. and, well, no one is as good as Katsa and Po (A) <3 Hih.
