But I am really glad you were happy with it =D I love finding people who loved books I hated or vice versa, they usually help me hate the book a little less.

This is the longest review I've ever re...Wow!! This is the longest review I've ever read and it made me laugh because I can totally see where you're coming from with a lot of your points. For some reason, I really loved this book - but I seem to be the ONLY one, so I guess I have some kind of illness. :-) Sorry you hated it, but I'm glad that you had your chance to rant!! <br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-62360475679887844222013-10-31T13:49:57.182+00:002013-10-31T13:49:57.182+00:00Haha, glad someone else felt the exact same way. I...Haha, glad someone else felt the exact same way. I can't comprehend how this book is getting 5* reviews! Four irritated me to no end in this book, it's like he had a personality switch. Mainly because now he had his own chapters but they were done in Tris' style so much that they felt identical. I wanted to shake him most of the time!<br /><br />The outside world was such a big let down and the constant talk of this serum and that serum, well it drove me crazy. I found it so funny that they were so against wiping the memories of anyone in the city, as that is just despicable - but doing it to the Bureau is totally okay! <br /><br />I would have been happier with the ending if it had seemed like she was immune to the death serum and then realised she wasn't and she was dying. But the surviving only to be shot seemed ridiculous and annoyed the hell out of me. <br /><br />I completely agree with you, none of this book reads as though it had years worth of planning behind it. It all fell very flat for me. I am begging them to change the ending if they make it to a third film! <br /><br />Thanks for checking it out, glad to find someone who agrees.

Four&#...I had a lot of the same reactions you did. Four's POV was such a disappointment, he was not the same character he was in the first two books. He was just so weak and it didn't make any sense. So he finds out he's not divergent? Who cares? And yes, I thought the outside was so anticlimactic, what was the point? So many plot holes. And why was the only way to get the memory serum to blow their way through and release the death serum? Why not attack when it was being transported? There were definitely other things they could have done. And why was it ok to get rid of people's memories anyway? That didn't seem to be consistent with who Tris was. Four starts to fight her on it, and then he just folds. Ok, sure, let's wipe everyone's memories in this entire compound. That's fine. What?? And then finally, the ending. Part of me understands why the author had Tris make that sacrifice. She never felt like she was good enough to be Abnegation, she wasn't selfless, she was reckless but never really sacrificed herself for the right reason, blah blah. But then she survives the death serum (which was ridiculous, all these serums, I just have to say). Why survive it only to be shot (and that happens because she left her gun)? What? It was just so stupid and pointless. She could have easily survived and shown that she was selfless. And it wasn't like she was saving lives she was saving people who were going to have their memories wiped. It wasn't like she was throwing herself in front of a bullet to save Four or something. Even though Veronica Roth claims she had this planned from the very beginning, it just didn't read that way at all. Just so pointless. This book just left me feeling angry, sad, and empty and I absolutely loved the first two books. Oh well. This is one time I actually hope Hollywood completely changes the book when it makes the movie (assuming it does). Great honest review! ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.com
