Yes. It's that good. (But it's a bit fat so not exactly great to be carrying around classes)
Basically, it's about a girl named Beatrice Prior (awesomeest name ever imo) who lives in a dystopic version of Chicago where there are "factions", which are pretty much just districts. Dauntless is for the brave, Amnity for the peaceful, Candor for the honest, Erudite for the intelligent, and Abnegation for the selfless. Beatrice is a Stiff (which is slang for Abnegation).
When everyone turns sixteen, they get a simulation that tells them which faction they best belong in, then the next day, they get to choose which faction they go to. But there's a test and if you don't pass it, you end up factionless, which is the equivalent of being homeless. In each faction, the tests are different.
So... yeah. It's so amazing. I'm almost at the end. It's SO GOOD. (But there's some, er, Twilight'y stuff near the end...)

Sears Tower maybe?

I don't think it was the Sears tower... and besides, it wouldn't work quite right, you'd probably fall to your death.
I took the fb test too, and I'm Dauntless. (What else? It's the only that accepts crazies.) Unfortunately that reminds me of the prince in Once Upon a Matress, who is a complete wimp.
