They were good little short stories that help the reader delve deeper into how Tobias came to be. Horrible to relive what he went through with his dad through his version but it was nice to see how he was thinking around Tris.

Really liked the fast pace of the book. I also loved to read Four's point of view. It does really complete the Divegrent series tho it was a bit odd for me bc I only saw the movie yet. I am looking forward to read the Divergent series too. I gave it a 4.25 only bc yeah I loved it and everything but this was not a 5 star book (for me). Perfect book for starting to be a bookworm ❤

I enjoyed this book and I think it really surprised me. I love Divergent but the other two books in the Divergent Trilogy kinda fell flat for me. This reignited that spark I had felt when I had read Divergent.
I think this helped us to understand Four better and some of what happened in Divergent which I found enjoyable. I also realized that there were so many missed opportunities by the author to take the story in directions which she failed to do in Insurgent and Allegiant (Speeling error??) This book is made up of four short stories about Four and while I enjoyed it, it made me mourn what could have been for this series! I would recommend for people who liked this series.

This was mostly disappointing. Four's voice is a little more distinctive than it was in Allegiant, but the rest of the characters are still cartoonish cardboard cutouts and we just don't get anything new, both in terms of narrative and in terms of our understanding of the characters and of the world. Despite its flaws I still like the first book of the Divergent series, even if I was less happy with where the rest of the story took us, so there was a little bit of joy in getting to relive those faction initiation days through someone else, but it really was just a rehash of things we'd seen before.
