The Big Trouble With "Divergent" Is "Allegiant"

Overview THE DIVERGENT SERIES: ALLEGIANT is the third movie in the 'Divergent' show. Here's the thing, Divergent as a chain is created around one quite easy, very obvious proposition: we should all be treated as individuals rather than stereotyped into some faction, Dauntless or Erudite or Candor (except Roth's doing the stereotyping anyhow, like what's up with only the Erudite wearing glasses?). Cue the forced mental and sensational ending as we are forced to read the awful reaction of Four to her passing, where readers drown in a puddle of the feels. I had a few troubles with it (mostly that it spelled out a bit too much for the reader, lacked finesse with all the management of themes, and was occasionally fairly predictable) but the character development was breathtaking, the plot was heart-thumping and since it's a young adult novel, I believe Veronica Roth did a pretty darn decent job:)Most readers are going to love it. Admittedly, I Have ever been a skeptic of Veronica Roth's books - Divergent was junk dressed up as a dystopian, Insurgent except stacking on the bullshit, pretty much failed at everything - but, as I predicted within my Insurgent revi Clearly, I merely do not get it. I don't have any problem with endings that are sad, bittersweet ends, happy endings, or even unresolved ends AS LONG AS THE FINISHING MAKES SENSE WITH THE BODY OF THE WORK. Allegiant was definitely the final publication of a ballyhoo-copter of a series that left millions of readers invested. Now lem me explain: if this convoluted plot really made sense and did not leave me needing to go back to the dumb but at least intriguing theory of the factions, then I would not be as frustrated as I 'm. Not almost. When people asked me what my favourite book was I would say Divergent and I'm unsure what to answer anymore.

divergent 3It was so paint by numbers and persistent that it became foreseeable, in part because Tris is obviously right and in part because there is no time for nuance thanks to all of the random things that keep happening and all of the arbitrary tips being thrown around. Now, I am not saying for a fictional book everything has to make perfect sense, but in this instance, it's not too much that the factions make no sense (even after all of the mumbo jumbo experimental drivel Roth's concocted to compel some logic on the system - crap I saw coming ever since Insurgent's out of nowhere ending) as much as the factions are so obviously composed the manner they are to augment Roth's message of how stereotyping is terrible they make no sense outside of that context. Four finds out that he is not really divergent (um, alright?), and then he totally breaks down and immediately loses all the growth he had carried through in the first two novels and does something dumb. The 3rd installment of the smash Divergent series franchise, ALLEGIANT takes Four Theo James and Tris Shailene Woodley into a world that is new, a lot more dangerous than ever before. We are all here crying (read: sobbing our eye sockets dry) because of that end. Just as the characters in the novel, the despair wipes away any deep philosophical mulling I might have about what occurred in the plot. Rather than attempting to resolve the old struggle involving the factionless along with the factions, the novel tries to take on an entirely new battle between the genetically pure and the genetically damaged, making the plot unnecessarily convoluted and leaving little to no room for appropriate character growth. Mainly, the inorganic way in which the events are revealed crushes the effect this ending was looking to achieve.

Keeping her intentions in mind, I still believe this finish failed in it's execution. Like demise and Uriah's injury, a whole lot of the ending was tied up with her departure. It was a lot like Divergent where there is a lot of writing that is respectable but not much storyline movement. And despite the predictability as well as the repetition and the deus ex machina moments, this storyline was a confused mess and most of it was not totally necessary to where we went. It absolutely was clearly one of the few interesting things concerning the novel, though I believed the love triangle" was unnecessary and slowed the plot down. Plus, he spends all of Allegiant being broken down and we never really see him built back up. For a last novel so artificial most of it's spent on (badly done) exposition to explain it all away, Tris and Caleb to me felt like the sole thing real about any of it, the one character development accomplishment in a sea of storyline development failure. This info dump is compounded by several things: 1) Everything we thought we knew about the outside is a lie and some things we thought we knew in regards to individuals on the inside is a lie, too; 2) Tris understands nothing about the outside so things that people know around as readers keep being offhandedly clarified to her and also not described to her; 3) lots of what Tris needs to figure out is science and history, and there is not the sufficient foundation needed to help with suspension of disbelief. In Allegiant, we must overthrow the tyranny of Jeanine Mathews 2.0/3.0. It's the exact same battle. I mean seriously the 2nd part isn't even out yet and individuals rated a publication that is likely not written yet! The careless manner her death shown and is composed makes the finishing appear like it was just written only to get a cheap shock value.img src="http://ytimg.

The close for Tris was, in my opinion, the best section of the book (and interestingly enough, not because it was finally over and done with). Now I am assuming this was seen as ridiculous, because this society is taken by Allegiant and makes it an experiment. That is simply what she, as a selflessly reckless individual, would do. But considering that there was a totally good person involved in this end that needed to be redeemed (cough Caleb cough) who did not offer to sacrifice himself to save his sister, I'm challenging the true purpose for why this ending was decided. The Divergent Series: Allegiant is set for release on March 10th in the UK and March 18th in the States, using a cast which includes Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Octavia Spencer, Naomi Watts, Jeff Daniels, Ray Stevenson, Zoe Kravitz, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Keiynan Lonsdale, Jonny Weston, Mekhi Phifer, Daniel Dae Kim, Nadia Hilker and Bill Skarsgard. Part of me understands that the point is that Four isn't perfect; he's four fears, but those four fears are so much bigger and more frightening than most people's ten or twenty (or my thousand). Two wrongs would not be made by the American Authorities in Allegiant in hopes of obtaining a right. He began to become Cassandra Clare prose essentially and that is NOT what I needed in Allegiant. I don't realize how Roth thought this was a successful means of stopping the show that explained her. EDIT (7/11/13): The end is far from being the worst thing concerning this novel, but I did read the author's blog post. Essentially, I only liked two things - Tris and Caleb's relationship, as well as the ballsy finishing (for like five seconds).

We don't accept selfishness, stupidity, pride, as element of us. We want to eliminate it. It is vilified by us. And when faced with all the chance to be rid of it, we would probably take it. Death and even Uriah 's harm felt like a plot point for Four which was ultimately entirely glossed over. While the divergent are more likely also, fundamentally, the genetically damaged are less likely to survive. Unexpectedly, tensions are rising between the factionless and the Allegiant (the group who would like to re-establish the faction system) and Evelyn decides she's going to utilize the Erudite passing serum to wipe out her opponents. Admittedly, I Have ever been a skeptic of Veronica Roth's books - Divergent was nonsense dressed up as a dystopian, Insurgent pretty much failed at everything except piling on the bullshit - but, as I predicted within my Insurgent review, there was just something about Roth's end game that had me interesting. She showed her change into the bravery that she originally wanted to have way back in Divergent. Always I kept forgetting I was reading a book that is a continuance of the Divergent trilogy. The novel gets a little preachy right before this part where the characters start talking about how erasing someone's memories is inherently evil-unless you've got good motives, naturally.
