Paperback features over fifty pages of bonus materials, including a sneak peek of Insurgent, an author Q&A, a discussion guide, a Divergent playlist, faction manifestos, and more! In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).
On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives.
For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made.
Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen.
But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her. Veronica Roth is the New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, the first in a trilogy of dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance."

Maandamanos appear to be a scheme by those who caused Baba’s flop to hide the truth from him. Those who misadvised him then,are still doing it today to hide their true value in Raila’s journey. It is a shame

Thank you for your book, above-mentioned. I am one among the millions frustrated Kenyans about the outcome of last year’s elections! I have been enlightened by your book which you have written in a precise, forthright & inspiring way. I hope many Kenyans & especially supporters of Baba read it!
With humility, I think i can describe you as a patriotic, honest, brilliant, courageous & very independent-minded Kenyan!… In your conclusion, you have suggested that we need a successor to Baba who is brave & ready to suffer to redeem Kenya, otherwise, with the exit of Baba one day, without somebody like him who can stand fearlessly for Kenya, I shudder to imagine what would happen to Kenyans especially with the current type of regime!
I am an old man. I am not a politician……May I suggest that you gather like-minded Kenyans like you & start a movement to mentor such a person as described above! …. Hopefully you become the person!!
Anyway, thank you for educating us. We continue to pray for our motherland and I believe soon & very soon the seeds of good governance which were sown by the many fighters for democracy and watered by sweat, suffering & blood of Kenyans will germinate & completely outgrow the weeds of bad governance, greed, corruption & all manner of malaise we witness today!

The best detailed Book indeed!
‘Raila The 5th’ ended up being a JOKE.

I’ll rank it a 5* mainly for the responsibility the author takes to put his truth in writing something that many Kenyans will not do. We are still looking for something worthwhile to read from the 2017 election happenings. Well done Mr. Kanchory

The truth is always the truth, regardless of what many will or may say, but it will remain with its value.

Raymond –
Sensational in title and hype. Very little depth. This is a very shallow account of what could’ve been an exceptional read.
I don’t get the sense of a “tell all” account of exactly why “Baba is not the 5th”.
⭐️/5

While it is a bravery did for Mr Kanchori in authoring truth which many of Odinga’s disciples will despute bitterly. It becomes unreasonable for the same author to still stand some ground that he believes Raila won and that opening of the IEBC servers shall vindicate him. The Azimio’s chief agent should market and defend his published findings and stop giving mixed signals.

Ohh. The normal crybaby attitude after loosing an election. A great book but it will be dismissed by the normal culprits.

Truth is like pregnancy one can never hide it for long. Raila Odinga lost and that is the living truth !
The maadamano is his modus operandi to remain popular hiding behind the server.
