My Impressions:
I am very impressed with this book because not only the author is young but her story line is great. Her imagination that she puts in her work is tremendously expressed throughout the characters that she uses. Ms. Roth has released another captivating story tantalizing her audiences with a unique writing style of suspense and thrilling actions in surviving the torments of war. The readers will enjoy reading this story especially as the main character is a girl. I would recommend this book for the young adults as they would truly have a better understanding of how the author has written utilizing teens and young adults as the main characters in her book. It was quite a long story, but I enjoyed reading it.

( March 15, 2012; 9780062024046 )
While the hugely popular Divergent (2011) welcomed dystopian fans of every stripe with its irresistable concept and hybridization of genres, this sequel is more for hard-core fans a good thing if you're a devotee but a bit overwhelming for fence-riders. Rocked by the recent simulation war, the five factions engage in increasingly dangerous power plays to pick up the pieces. Tris and her love, Tobias, both daredevils of the Dauntless faction, are key players in these skirmishes, most of which focus upon the fiendishly logical Erudites and almost all of which are complicated by backstabbers and turncoats. It remains a great deal of fun to watch these cliques-taken-to-extremes duke it out with their various strengths and weaknesses, and Roth delivers the goods when it comes to intense, personal violence (no superpowers to be found here) and compelling set pieces (as when Tris undergoes a public truth serum interrogation). Newcomers, and even some old hands, might get buried under all the transposable characters and faction minutia, but those who stick it out will be rewarded with quite the cliff-hanger HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Divergent was the kind of best-seller juggernaut debut authors dream of. With high-profile movie rights already sold, you can bet you'll see this sequel on everyone's must-read list.--Kraus, Daniel Copyright 2010 Booklist

Being that this is a very long book, I will divide the class into groups of two. I will give them a chapter to read and present to the class. That way they will have a better understanding of the story and than have a class discussion every time a group is done presenting their chapter. Students will be able to ask questions about the characters in each chapter presented.
