I almost like this better than the other Divergent books
adventurous fast-paced

It was a really quick read nothing too exciting happened. It was kind of nice to see Fours point of view for some of the very important things that happened in Divergent.

3.5 stars. ARGH. If Four knew so much, why does he allow things to happen? ARGH. Yes his dad's an ass, but Tris's dad isn't. He'd've at least tried. This one aggreivated the hell out of me and while it was nice to see Four using his brain, it also made me want to kick him, hard. Balancing that with his time with Tris was just mean, Ms Roth, trying to make me like this section more. :P

Even Four as a "bad" guy in this one is cool. In fact, it is so well-written, I can absolutely see why it all happened as it did. I love this series. I'm gonna miss it. Roth better be working on another one!!!!!

Interesting to see the earlier interactions between Tris and Four. Four was a bit whiny and back-and-forth about "what should I do about Max and Jeanine's plot-to-destroy-Abnegation", but overall I did the storyline and little snippets of behind the scenes work Four does in this one.

Definitely my favorite of these short stories. I loved all the Tobias/Tris scenes. I only wish it had included more of his POV after the attack on Tris. Hopefully there will be more short stories from Tobias during [book: Insurgent] in the future.

Four's been my favorite, but honestly I can't tell the difference when it's his POV and Tris. I don't think Veronica is a developed enough writer to create those voice distinctions.
