Divergent - Book Challenge

Due on Dec 02
INTRO:  Series are a great way to keep yourself reading. If you like the first book you are guaranteed another reading choice. The Divergent series has been popular enough to warrant spin-off series and even a movie or four.

REVIEW:
Divergent is a series of young adult science fiction adventure novels by Veronica Roth set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian Chicago.  A related book, Four, presents a series of short stories told from the perspective of one of the trilogy's characters.
The society of this series defines its citizens by their social and personality-related affiliation with five different factions, which removes the threat of anyone exercising independent will and threatening the population's safety. Beatrice Prior, who later changes her name to Tris, an Abnegation-born and Dauntless transfer, must figure out her life as a Divergent, while concealing her true nature, and living with the danger of being killed if it is discovered by the Erudite and Dauntless leaders.

I value truth and honesty over a lot of other traits so I would probaply be put into Candor. I am selfless but not over all else and I am individual so I would not be put into Abnegation. I would not be Dauntless because I am not corageous above all else and I do not fit into the other two.
