DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth

This is a fast, action packed read.  I throughly enjoyed it.  Am definitely looking forward to the movie that is due out in March 2014.

The country is divided into 6 factions.
Abnegation- the political leaders, a group that believes in helping others and selfishness.  They also don't call attention to themselves, by wearing gray.
Amity-a group that is at peace with everything, making music and making people laugh. They dress in red and or yellow.
Candor-this group is honest, they usually wear black and white-like they see everything.
Dauntless-they dress in black and defend the areas.  They are loud and have fun and do crazy things; like jumping off a moving train.
Erudite-a well educated group.  They tend to be the scientists.
Factionless-the people that do not fit into any of the other factions, they have failed the initiations into the other factions.

All children at the age of 16 go through a simulation that will determine which faction they will belong to.  They then go to the choosing ceremony and pick the faction they choose or are assigned to.  They have to go through initiations with their new faction and have to pass to become a member.  The story follows Beatrice a member of Abnegation.
A wrench in the process is some members are divergent.
