this book is so fucking stupid
the main character is stupid
everyone around her is stupid
the whole world building is stupid
how the fuck did this senseless bullshit get published
this offers no merit to the world
it just exists as regurgitated garbage which gets consumed by kids and preetens who don't know any better
veronica roth is a non-entity to me
to consider this book suitable for reading is an absurd delusion of the highest caliber
every editor and publisher who approved this should go behind bars for their crimes against literature
this shit makes me feel like i could become the next fucking shakespeare
it's beyond unclear to me how one can write such garbage but still be successful because the populace is such brainless morons that fall for tropes with no depth and thought put behind them
this book is like a crude Frankenstein's monster but unlike Frankenstein the person who put it together is a braindead ape
it's like you gave tropes to a fucking toddler and told it to put them together in a book as a cruel game of scrabble which inflicts pain on the reader
every character is so shallow i don't even perceive them as characters they're merely a collection of letters on my screen that makes up a name
this book defiles every single virtue that literary fiction could bring you
to hand this book to someone is to insult their intelligence and capacity for even the slightest bit of critical thought
the world building is so incredibly thoughtless it makes me wonder if veronica has put any thought in it beyond the words "dystopian" and "factions"
this book makes me seethe as it exemplifies everything wrong with modern literature
it's nothing but a meaningless cash grab designed for the masses
it goes against every principle of art
this should get taught in schools as the example of what a HUSK of a literary work looks like
