I never read a story that involves a female character in the plot to perform action sequences. This is the first action story I read till date. It is not less than watching any action film on TV. What helped me reading the book is the amount of imagination I do.
To begin with - This book needs a lot of my memory space to remember each and every faction of the story so that I can understand the plot through out the series. Generally the first part of the series takes a lot of the introductions.
Why the factions are formed in the first place?
Quoted from the book - 'Decades ago our ancestors realized that it is not political ideology, religious belief, race, or nationalism that is to blame for a warring world. Rather, they determined that it was the fault of human personality—of humankind’s inclination toward evil, in whatever form that is.'
What are the five factions ?
(1) Amity - Blamed aggression - Red and Yellow - Love, care - understanding counselors and caretakers - soil - they farmed the lands and produced food
(2) Erudite - blamed ignorance - intelligent teachers and researchers - water - they know everything in terms of knowledge - blue color dress
(3) Candor - blames duplicity - trustworthy and sound leaders in law - glass - they always tell the truth
(4) Abnegation - blamed selfishness - selfless leaders in government - stones
(5) Dauntless - blamed cowardice - protection from threats both within and without - fire
At one point in the story there is a statement made by Tris after Al's death - "I don't think tea is a solution". Wow, a complete contrast to Ana Steele's philosophy from Fifty Shades. For me also tea is always the solution to anything.
It is good to experience Tris, I liked her. However, I loved Four more.
Looking forward to reading the second part in the series.
