While I loved this book, I just couldn't deal with the character deaths. Uriah, Marlene, and Lynn were my favorite characters, along with Will, from book one.

This book is so so good the whole series is my favourite. It can be a bit boring at some points and I argued several times with my friend over Uriah and his death, but I feel so bad for Four because of Tris dying!! Didn’t actually think that they would kill of the main character, but here we are… love this book though!

Overall the series is wonderful. Tris evolves into a really great character who seems so complete and complicated. I really enjoy all the relationships she has with other characters. I think my only complaint with the book is that this is the first one that flips back and forth between Tobias' POV and Tris'. Maybe its just me but I was so used to only reading her side that I would get confused with who the narrator was sometimes because they were very similar. I thought that when reading Tris' POV I loved her, from Tobias' POV Tris seemed different and not quite like the girl I'd read in the last two books. Tobias' POV however was exactly as I expected him to be. Anywho I love this series and I shall revisit in another decade.

*SPOILERS!*
This book, let me just say that the characters were hardly important in this book. Uriah, my favorite character, died but why was that in any way shape or form necessary for the story?
Tris got on my very last nerve, in this book. She started arguments with Tobias over every little thing and he was no better. Those two played a large part in the book, but why did you need Christina, Uriah, and Peter? The only necessary characters were: Tris, Tobias, and Caleb.
Everyone else was just unnecessary to the entire plot. I love this series, but the ending was just awful!
Veronica Roth could have ended that book so much better than she did. Caleb could have gone in, died, and tris and Tobias could have been happy for the rest of their lives, instead it was the complete opposite! I hated it!

Ok, now people are obviously going to rate this lower because of the ending, but when I first read it, I of course was angry! I was furious! I thought she was going to come back! but then she saw her mom......But the one part that really made me mad was when Four wanted to forget her! Right after I finished, my emotions were very high, I really couldn't function. Then my friend read the book, and I realized that I actually liked that Tris died. She finally died in an un-selfish way, and it was to save Tobias and Caleb and all of her friends. I think Veronica Roth is a very courageous author for killing off her main character, but I congratulate her as she did it in a way that was pleasing to the audience, but wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

10 years later and I'm still crying thinking of the ending. Need to reread this soon.
