Divergent/Insurgent--read them!

So now and then books come along that everyone insists you must read.  Like Harry Potter.  Like Twilight.  Like The Hunger Games.  Not all of them qualify as true must reads.

But Divergent and Insurgent are certainly worth your time.  The short summary is it is about a 16 year old girl who has grown up living in one "faction" but now must go through testing and determine which faction she will join.  If she leaves her faction, she leaves her family, presumably forever.  She soon discovers that she has a different aptitude than she might have expected and must find her way when no one can really help her figure it all out.  Along the way she makes new friends but she cannot tell them the whole truth about her aptitude. 

There's so much more I could say but I refuse to spoil the fun for you.  So you will just have to go out and get them for yourself!
