Je ne me souvenais plus à quel point le livre était différent du film. 
Je trouve que contrairement au premier (mon préféré) les scènes sont beaucoup moins bien organisées, certaines meme inutiles, il y a énormément (trop) de personnages qui sont mal (parfois pas du tout) réutilisés… 
Tris et Tobias dans ce tome sont beaucoup moins « likable » en tant que personnes et en tant que couple. 
Par contre Christina <3 <3 
Mais ce tome était quand même génial, facile à lire en anglais et rapide. 
Par contre je l’ai trouvé extrêmement triste (pas étonnant que ce soit sur celui-là que je pleure le plus).

I didn't like this book. Personally, I found it just very depressing. Tris is dealing with the grief of killing her friend in self-defense and it is just a really heavy topic. I won't recommend this book nor will i finish the series

ajdotcom's review

Personal reasons- not in the right headspace for this at all, especially (whole series spoiler)

knowing that Tris dies at the end of the trilogy

. Will maybe come back to the series eventually, but for some reason it really pulls at my heartstrings in a way I don't like.

Moderate: Abandonment and War

Both of the protagonist's parents die- one right at the end of the previous book and the grief is dealt with here, and one in this book (to my recollection). Her brother also seemingly betrays her and she grieves this loss very explicitly. There are themes of not belonging throughout the series that may be triggering.

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!!!!!!
