5.0
It's a very good representation of tobias' prospective through out the novel. I'm aware towards the end of alligent after tris dies that tobias has to move on at some point, but WHY CHRISTINA?!?! That was her best friend like. And I understand that grief brings people closer but really. I did however like the parts in the novel that were in divergent from tobias' perspective like the famous "you look good tris"

3.85* for not enough Four
4.25* for what this book gave us about the character and how this was a well written book and an easy read.
Yes, two ratings... am I cheating? Goodreads, update your ratings, stat! They're lacking!!
From the moment, almost, I saw Four in the movie Divergent, I have been intrigued by him and found him interesting. His backstory and the glimpses we got of it made me really curious so, of course, when this was released, I wanted to get my hands on it and... what do you know, found it twice at the thrift store (and bought it twice as I didn't remember I already bought it once *laughs*
I loved reading about him pre-choosing Dauntless and 2 years before meeting Tris and the whole Divergent issue with the Erudite/Dauntless shenanigans. We delved more into his personna before, during and after the choosing and got to know more about his story and who he is. Then again, I was still left wanting more. This felt too short. Of course, this is all based prior to and during Divergent so of course there is more to tell but once Tris came in the picture and they became an item... he kinda took a step back... somehow.
It was still a really nice touch and I totally enjoyed this read. It was easy and fun and overall well done. Four (Tobias), is a character you want to get to know more about and this did the job... and yes, broken record... not quite enough for me.

Definitely a quick read, and a cool look at Fours life before the divergent series! Kind of wished there was more after passing initiation and his perspective as an initiation instructor the first year, but still a pleasant read

So I read Divergent and was going to start on Insurgent but stopped myself. I saw this Four book and had to see what it was all about. It was awesome seeing the world through Four's eyes. Ross makes a good point though about characters. As a writer, I try to write a POV and sometimes it's the right one and other times it's not. While I loved this indulgence of Four's mind and what happened on his initiation, Tris is a driving force. I'm ready to read Insurgent now!
