ssssssssssssooooooooooo ggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooddddddddddd
One of those books, and correct me if Im wrong, that once the plot picks up it just keeps going. Its also real easy to get attached to the characters. I read it in one week, compare that to Divergent which took me a month and T.H.G which took me four days, it's pretty good.
I read it on a day because it was so good;)
I read it in one day also! I loved it!
it's okay. only read it if u have some empty time on your hands. you can find better elsewhere.
It's good! I really enjoyed reading it!(*◕‿◕*)
Really good! It doesn't compare to some of my truly favorite books, but its still worth the time to read!!!
I absolutely loved this trilogy.I read the entire thing in a couple of days.
It's actually a really fun series to listen to if you get the audiobooks.
I thought it kinda sucked
Chantelle said, "I thought it kinda sucked."I thought it was really good. Why didn't you like it?
The writing was really lacking. The romance between the two characters was sudden and forced. The main characters had the same voice - I honestly wouldn't be able to tell them apart if their chapters weren't labelled. The character development was hardly even there and I felt no emotional attachment to any of them. It was a very typical young adult dystopian novel (all just my opinion)

Can you recommend one to me? What's your favorite book in that genre?

I really enjoyed Divergent and Insurgent (Allegiant not so much haha but the overall series was pretty good) and the Hunger Games (go figure). The Gone series by Michael Grant is pretty good if you've never heard about it. Kinda weird, but once you get attached to the characters it's hard not to like the books :p. Can't really think of any others, I've kinda given up on dystopian novels because they seem to be everywhere and they're basically all the same, you know?

Linn wrote and Chantelle wrote.........(look above).I thought Allegiant was good until the end.
I loved Allegiant until I was about 2/3 into it. I don't know if it was just me, but I felt like Tobias was out of character and he really didn't seem like the fearless dauntless I've come to know in the past books. And his POV was all too similar to Tris; I kept on getting confused.
The ending really disappointed me for a few reasons.
1.) I stick by my opinion that Tris shouldn't have died, and I'm not just saying that because she's the main character or anything. I honestly didn't feel like it served her justice at all.
2.) I hated how things ended with Evelyn. I couldn't (and still can't) believe that a woman who had left her own son on his own for so many years would suddenly decide to act motherly in the middle of a war. Just seemed so... I don't know the right word for it; forced? unfitting? unbecoming? Something along those lines.
3.) I really hated the epilogue. Just everything about it just seemed forced. And once again I felt like Tobias was out of character again.

I would actually start to dread Tobias' chapters because he was so out of character, so moody and so irritating.
It just upset me so much. I consider Divergent to be one of my favorite books ever and I liked Insurgent too. So I was really looking forward to Allegiant and how Roth would wrap it up, but it left me so disheartened.
I actually loved Legend.I didn't feel their romance forced at all and I came to love the characters,especially Day,June,Metias,Eden and Tess
I actually really liked the dual POV and thought they sounded very different,just for the fact that Day ands June look at the world so differently.She is much more precise and detailed and he is much more casual.
I actually have the audiobooks as well and they are fantastic and a ton of fun to listen to.
You definately get the distinctness in both characters.
I honestly could not put this book down and at least

ummm No means to be rude, but..... Why on earth are you talking about that trilogy?
chantelle wrote: "The writing was really lacking. The romance between the two characters was sudden and forced.

It's a very tricky way to write, but she pulled it off better than most writers.
chantelle wrote: "The writing was really lacking. The romance between the two characters was sudden and forced.

Marie gets into a lot of character development in Prodigy.

Because someone else had brought it up a few threads earlier.Definately didn't want to turn this into an Allegiant rant.I loved Legend.
I absolutely just love this book. It's definitely something worthwhile to read. You'll just love Day and June :)
Unlike other young adult novels, I found that Legend was moving - it brought me to tears on countless occasions - and really engrossing. It's an intriguing plot of action and romance that I just couldn't put down. I really enjoyed it!
Emily wrote: "chantelle wrote: "The writing was really lacking. The romance between the two characters was sudden and forced.

But I'm sure a lot of people really liked it which is totally cool, people are entitled to their opinions.
