Divergent - by Veronica Roth

A really enjoyable read. I was sucked in to the story and found the chapter lengths were just right to have satisfying bursts of reading. The pace of the story is well tuned and the surge of drama towards the end moved me from “maybe read books 2 and 3” to downloading them ready to read. I liked the fact that the story was set in the near future - I guess - but there was very little reference to new technology. I enjoyed recognising the city as being Chicago, even though that isn’t mentioned. I finished wishing that I knew the back story - how had society reached this point?
