My first 5 stars of the year, but I just had to! I Looooved this!!!! I just love love love tris and four so much I feel like a teenager again. It was nice that it was so different from the film as well because sometimes reading a book that’s like a play by play of a film can be boring. I did get a little bit confused with all of the characters at one point, I feel like there was nothing individual about some of them so I didn’t really feel a need to care when they died. But I loved this!! And I can’t wait for the next one.

I rated this book higher than Divergent because even though it was slower and had less action, I loved all the science elements and how it talks more about Erudite instead of mostly taking place in the Dauntless compound.

I forgot how annoying both Tris and Tobias are. Guess they’re really meant for each other! Also, this book in seriously messed up—and not even an interesting, morally ambiguous way, like in a pretty much everyone has murdered or been complicit in the murders of innocent people way. Why were we all reading this in middle school!!!!!!

I had the feeling I wouldn't like the second book as much as the first one because the most fun part (the training) was completed. And I was right. But I still liked the plot a lot. It didn't drag at all, so much was happening. Sometimes maybe a little too much, too fast. But I really liked how you discovered the different fractions in ... different ways. I especially loved the more sciency, logical part and Tris' curiosity. Liked the twists, the predictable and the surprising ones. And the ending really made me curious for the third book. But I was soooooo disappointed in Tris and Four and too annoyed too often. At least Tris' development was undestandable for the most part. But Four was so different from book 1. He felt like a totally different character. And this really had a huge impact on my overall enjoyment of the book.
