Hey hey hey! (Wowwww that was the lamest thing I've ever said haha)
I actually wasn't planning on reading this, but I needed to entertain myself on Sunday. Yeah, I read it ALL in one day.
This is probably the only book that I've really had negative thoughts about but here it is. Ok, let's get one thing straight. I loved this book. Then I read reviews of it that pointed out some things.
these are:
It kind of has the vocabulary of a 5th grader?
Great story, Could've had better execution.
Pretty much Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.
One problem I had, was that nothing really bad happens until the end. Just a lot of filler I guess?

Also, I came up with these?
The factions and their HP houses:
Amity: Total Hufflepuff
Abnegation: Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw
Erudite: Ravenclaw/Slytherin
Dauntless: Slytherin/Gryffindor
Candor: Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff

Anyways, I liked it. It had flaws, but it was good.
I am going to read the rest of the series, and it does see that Insurgent is pretty to-the-point and not slow like the first one.

I do like the faction idea in SciFi, (Like the districts in Hunger Games and castes in the Selection) and I think that it was pretty well written all-in-all.

Also: 'content'
Ok. I knew that that the later books got just a smidge more 'inappropriate' or romantic (Which is fine). I just didn't expect it so early. It was good, and cute but I didn't see it coming. Nothing too horrible really!


I'll add the playlist later. but I have to go now!
