Waiting on Wednesday (17)

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly blogging event hosted at Breaking-The-Spine.com that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.  This week I'm waiting on... 

Divergent by Veronica Roth 
To Be Released: May 3rd 2011

(from Goodreads):
One choice.
One choice decides your friends, defines your beliefs, and determines your loyalties . . . forever.
Or, one choice can transform you.
In Veronica Roth's debut novel, a perfect society unfolds into a dystopian world of electrifying decisions, stunning consequences, heartbreaking betrayals, and unexpected romance.


Is this the next epic dystopian series in the spirit of the Hunger Games? A lot of reviewers seem to think so.  This is one heck of a book at nearly 500 pages, and I'm on pins and needles waiting for it.
So, what are you waiting on this Wednesday?
