The book I'm currently reading is Allegiant by Veronica Roth. Since I've already read Divergent and Insurgent, I had to read the last book in this trilogy. The book isn't as good as I expected it to be, but as we all know, the third book in a trilogy is always the worst.
The best things about my book are...
the relationship between Tobias and Tris. Their relationship sets my teeth on edge because of how often they argue with each other. Now, this isn't a bad thing (kind of), it's just that their arguments never fail to keep me from reading more because I want to find out if they will forgive each other. I also enjoy the suspense from this book when you always have to ask yourself Who's going to die next? Unfortunately, these are some of the only aspects of the book that I enjoyed. Most important quote so far: "We can pretend that we don't belong there anymore, while we're living in relative safety in this place, but we do. We always will."
The worst things about my book are...
the events are somewhat repetitive. Tris and Tobias fight with each other like an old married couple, constantly. It seems unoriginal. It seems cliche. When Veronica Roth makes them jealous of each other, it makes me want to yell at the book and throw it away (not like I would ever do that with a book but I felt like I could). Another aspect of the book I didn't like was the constant switch in perspective between the two main characters, Tris and Tobias. But the change did help me see Tobias' perspective in the different situations. Also, this book is becoming predictable. We all can predict now that Tris will come in and save the day and make it out alive. I really didn't enjoy how Roth just threw a ton of information in your face oh so suddenly. I could never remember crucial details that were given to me early in the book that were important to know later.
So far I would give this book 3/5 stars.
I would have to agree that this book is repetitive and predictable. I did not think that a certain someone would die in the end though. I thought that the last hunger games was pretty good for a trilogy and I dont' know yet, but im expecting great things.
ReplyDeleteI agree the book is pretty predictable but still a good book overall. Though having someone die close to the end of a book series probably isn't the best choice for an author.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading this book and I think the perspective of Tobias is kind of annoying. He sounds exactly like Tris.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the movie? for Divergent?
