I'm going to start it tonight!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm doing a re-read because I can't remember what happened! I'll be slow though cause I'm reading other stuff at the same time ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Think I'm around chapter 7? (Sorry I've been listening to it instead of reading it myself!)
(view spoiler)[ I feel so sorry for Tris's parents losing both of their children on the same day!
The news that only 10 of them will actually become members is not good! (hide spoiler)]

[Asmara]

Divergent is a very fascinating book. I've read Insurgent too and i'll be reading Allegiant and after i complete it, Free Four is my target.
I completely love that series. You guys should also give it a try.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've got the kindle version so I've just been listening to it on 'text-to-speech', I never used to be able to listen to books, but I can now. It's great when you have to stack the dishwasher and stuff but want to keep reading!

I'm planning on reading the other books, I forgot what happened in divergent though so thought I'd give it a re-read first ☺

Forgetting is not a problem. But did you like it the first time you read it?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes ☺ I gave it 4 stars ☺

[Asmara]

Sarah wrote: "Yes ☺ I gave it 4 stars ☺"

Well, that's great.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Ah, I like Tris's mom, she hides so much, and has so many layers! I'd really like to know more about her.

I really like Four too. Tris is a little clueless though! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ Edward getting a knife in the eye is awful! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I just finished! Think I actually liked it more this time around, I didn't get quite so confused!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I didn't think I'd have time to read it, but then I found time! The hangman boards weren't too busy last night ☺

[Hanna]

Hahhaah I am only on Chapter 2! lol. I haven't had time to read, I have been super busy, it probably doesn't help that I am reading 8 books right now!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's a lot of books!

[Rosie]

OOOH I love that novel. And I know alot of people are saddened by Allegient but I actually thought it was the perfect ending. I loved seeing Four's character develop. What do you think?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm just starting Insurgent, interested to see what will happen next!

[Hanna]

Sarah wrote: "That's a lot of books!"

I'm always reading a bunch of books and then I kick myself because I cannot keep up.

[Maddie]

Starting now

[Maddie]

9% (view spoiler)[I wish I was reading this for the first time, as I love it! I know what she'll choose, but maybe for these comments I'll act like it's my first time so that I don't spoil it for other people who may not have read it XD (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Will finish tomorrow and jump into Insurgent

[✨ A ✨]

@maddison This is a thread for the first book only 😓

[Maddie]

Oh bummer alright, are you guys not continuing the series?

[Maddie]

This is the exact type of story I love! I really wish I was learning this for the first time :D

[Maddie]

15% (view spoiler)[She keeps bringing up Abnegation and honestly it sounds like hell, I'd die there. Definitely wouldn't move to Divergent, maybe Candor or Amity (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

17% (view spoiler)[Ugh she's so annoying as an Abnegation, can't wait for her to shake it! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

22% (view spoiler)[I have no idea how Tris can be so defiant, I'd never be able to talk back to a bully like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

31% (view spoiler)[Ugh who notices those things about a person when they're hanging in midair. Or is that normal? I mustn't know. I feel like now, because of books, I'll think those things about someone just because a book character in that moment would XD Almost as if books dictate my life and ruin moments for me. Always scenarios running through my mind. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

35% (view spoiler)[I couldn't imagine this knife throwing thing!
God Four is so annoying, such a bad boy with a troubled past.

'not in the greedy way in which a man looks at a woman'. I really hate how that was snuck in there, the fact that everyone knows exactly the disgusting preying look a man can have, the look that says he knows he can take advantage, he can take what he can't have by force. It's disgusting. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

38% (view spoiler)[Clear her mother used to be in Dauntless! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

39% (view spoiler)[Wow her mother knew! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

42% (view spoiler)[Holy crap the knife is in his eye!!! (hide spoiler)]

Sorry for all of the updates in different posts, I'm updating as I listen

[Maddie]

48% (view spoiler)[These crows sound so terrifying!! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

53% (view spoiler)[How does Four know about Divergents...

EDIT: Ah right because of the way she knew the simulation wasn't real, but still. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

63% (view spoiler)[No! Al's body!

Interesting how they view suicide as a courageous thing and chant his name after... (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

65% (view spoiler)[Wow so many tattoos. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

66% (view spoiler)[So clear Christina and Will have something going on. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

67% (view spoiler)[I have no idea what I would say if I was Tris in that position, I'd be seriously under pressure! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

70% (view spoiler)[I'd hate having to go through all of my fears... It really wouldn't help me overcome them, I'd always hate spiders etc (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

81% (view spoiler)[Hahahaha Four's in her fear about sex! Jeez (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

83% (view spoiler)[It hurts that he said that she wasn't the first one he'd go to, but also it's true. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

93% (view spoiler)[I don't know how I'd be, telling my family my mother got shot. (hide spoiler)]
