Charms in Divergent
Divergent by Veronica Roth, 487 pages (Divergent #1)
"[T]hose who want power and get it live in terror of losing it."
"We believe that preparation eradicated cowardice, which we define as the failure to act in the midst of fear."
"[P]oliteness is deception in pretty packaging"
"I like to think I'm helping them by hating them [...] I'm reminding them that they aren't God's gift to humankind."
"A brave man acknowledges the strength of others."
"Human reason can excuse any evil; that is why it's so important that we don't rely on it."
"I believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another."
"That is death -- shifting from 'is' to 'was.'"
"I am someone who does not let inconsequential things like boys and near-death experiences stop her."
"I traded cowardice for cruelty; I traded weakness for ferocity."

This book is 486 pages, I finished it in two days. It's very fluid. However, it's very similar to The Hunger Games. Dystopian society, brave girl who is different than all others, a revolution, her romantic interest at some point gets injected with a special serum so that he doesn't know who she is and tries to kill her (much like Peeta in Mockingjay)...But it's a good book, it's intense and entertaining.
