Going into this book I knew that it would be similar to the Hunger Games, but I was excited to read it. Once I started it I didn't want to put it down and every time I had to, I couldn't wait to pick it back up. I read it in 5 days and the movie comes out tonight. I hope to make it to the theater on Tuesday to compare the movie. Books are always better anyway, because there is a lot that can be described with words that are missed in a film. I feel like there were a lot of parts that were important to the story and I'm wondering how they will be depicted in the film without the words. Unless parts are narrated.
Anyway, in this world, when you turn 16, you get to pick a faction. You either choose to stay in the one you were born into or you pick one of the others. There are four or five, I can't remember. So when you choose there is a ceremony and then you start initiation. If you complete it successfully you will become a member of the faction. If you are cut (ranked low) you become factionless which is something nobody wants.
So the story follows Trish about her faction and what faction she chooses, her initiation, etc. There is danger involved. And death. And brutal fights. It's action packed, and futuristic. Can't wait to read book two, although I'm 4th in the library hold list so it will be a while. How unfortunate.
