Goodreads Users Vote Divergent Best Book of the Year!

Divergent (Divergent, #1)
Goodreads, the website that combines the social networking of Facebook with the awesome joy of logging all the books you've read and reveling in your accomplishments, has just posted its best books of 2011!  Divergent by Veronica Roth was picked as one the best of the year, a decision with which I can't disagree.  Set in an apocalyptic future Chicago, the book has all the killer apps for a good read: adventure, romance and bungee jumping off the side of a city skyscraper. Veronica Roth, the author, actually grew up in the Chicago suburbs and really shows off the city in the book (albeit, in a futuristic, abandoned dystopian sort of way).
