We have got all the latest news on the Allegiant film -- including trailers, posters, and guess on changes from the book. Keeping her intentions at heart, I however think this end failed in it's execution. Like Uriah's harm and dying, a whole lot of this termination was tied up with her departure. It was a lot like Divergent where there's a ton of writing that is respectable but not much plot movement. And even with the predictability as well as the repetition and the deus ex machina moments, this storyline was a confused mess and most of it was wholly unnecessary to where we went. It was one of the few interesting things regarding the book, though I thought the love triangle" was unnecessary and slowed the plot down. Plus, he spends all of Allegiant and we never actually see him assembled back up. For a last book so manufactured most of it's spent on (poorly done) exposition to explain it all away, Tris and Caleb to me felt like the only real thing real about any of it, the one character development accomplishment in an ocean of storyline development failure. This info dump is compounded by several things: 1) Everything we thought we knew about the exterior is a lie and a few things we thought we knew about the folks on the inside is a lie, too; 2) Tris understands nothing about the outside so things that we know about as readers keep being offhandedly clarified to her and also not described to her; 3) lots of what Tris must figure out is science and history, and there's not the adequate foundation needed to help with suspension of disbelief. In Allegiant, we must overthrow the tyranny of Jeanine Mathews 2.0/3.0. It is the exact same fight. I mean seriously the 2nd part isn't even out yet and people rated a novel that is likely not even written yet! The thoughtless way her passing is written and shown makes the finishing seem like it was purely composed just to get a cheap shock value.

It was paint by numbers and insistent that it became predictable because Tris is obviously appropriate and in part because there is no time for nuance thanks to all the random things that keep occurring and all of the arbitrary advice being thrown around. Now, I'm not saying for a fictional novel everything must make perfect sense, but in this event, it's not so much that the factions make no sense (even after all of the mumbo jumbo experimental garbage Roth's concocted to force some logic onto the system - drivel I saw coming ever since Insurgent's out of nowhere finishing) as much as the factions are so clearly written the manner they are to fortify 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 instantly loses all of the growth he'd realized in the initial two books and does something stupid. The next installment of the blockbuster Divergent series franchise, ALLEGIANT takes Four Theo James and Tris Shailene Woodley into a world that is new, much more dangerous than before. We're all here weeping (read: sobbing our eye sockets dry) because of this ending. Just as the characters in the novel, the grief wipes away any deep philosophical mulling about what happened in the plot I might have. Rather than attempting to conclude the old conflict involving the factionless as well as the factions, the novel tries to take on an entirely new conflict between the genetically pure and the genetically damaged, making the plot convoluted and leaving little to no room for proper character growth. Mainly, the inorganic way the events are shown destroy the effect this end was attempting to achieve.

We do not accept selfishness, stupidity, pride, as section of us. We want to remove it. We vilify it. And when confronted with all the chance to be rid of it, we would probably require it. Even Uriah 's injury and death felt just like a plot point for Four which was ultimately totally glossed over. While the divergent are more likely too, fundamentally, the damaged are less likely to survive. Suddenly, tensions are growing between the factionless along with the Allegiant (the group who would like to re-establish the faction system) and Evelyn decides she's likely to utilize the Erudite death serum to wipe out her opponents. True, I've always been a skeptic of Veronica Roth's books - Divergent was junk dressed up as a dystopian, Insurgent pretty much failed at everything except stacking on the bullshit - but, as I called within my Insurgent review, there was just something about Roth's end game that had me curious. She showed her change into the bravery that she initially wished to have way back in Divergent. Always I kept forgetting I was reading a novel that is a continuance of the Divergent trilogy. The novel gets a little preachy right before this part where the characters start talking about the memories of erasing someone is fundamentally evil-unless you've got great intentions, naturally.

The closure for Tris was, I think, the best part of the novel (and interestingly enough, not because it was finally over and done with). Now I am assuming this was seen as silly, because Allegiant takes this society and makes it an experiment. That is just what she, as a dangerous individual that is selflessly, would do. But considering that there was a perfectly good individual involved in this end that needed to be redeemed (cough Caleb cough) who didn't offer to sacrifice himself to save his sister, I'm challenging the true motivation for why this end was picked. The Divergent Series: Allegiant is set for release on March 10th in the UK and March 18th in the States, with 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. A part of me understands the point is that Four isn't perfect; he's four anxieties, but those four anxieties are so much bigger and more terrifying than most people's ten or twenty (or my thousand). Two wrongs would not be made by the American Government in Allegiant in hopes of getting a right. He started to become Cassandra Clare prose essentially and that is NOT what I desired in Allegiant. I actually don't realize how Roth thought this was a successful method of stopping the show that explained her. EDIT (7/11/13): The finish is far from being the worst thing relating to this novel, but I did read the author's website post. Basically, I only enjoyed two things - Tris and Caleb's relationship, as well as the ballsy ending (for like five seconds).

Hereis the matter, Divergent as a chain is created around one very easy, really clear 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 anyway, like what's up with just the Erudite wearing glasses?). Cue the forced mental and spectacular ending as we're compelled to read Four's terrible reaction to her departure, where readers drown in a puddle of the feels. I had a few problems with it (mostly that it spelled out a bit too much for the reader, lacked finesse together with the treatment of themes, and was occasionally pretty predictable) but the character development was breathtaking, the storyline was heart-thumping and since it's a young adult novel, I think Veronica Roth did a pretty darn decent job:)Most readers are going to love it. True, I Have always been a skeptic of Veronica Roth's books - Divergent was junk dressed up as a dystopian, Insurgent except piling on the bullshit, failed at everything - but, as I predicted in my Insurgent revi Obviously, I just do not get it. I have no issue with sad endings, bittersweet ends, happy endings, as well as unresolved ends AS LONG AS THE FINISHING MAKES SENSE WITH THE BODY OF THE WORK. Allegiant was certainly the ultimate publication of a hype-copter of a string that left millions of readers invested. Now lem me clarify: if this convoluted storyline really made sense and did not leave me needing to go back to the stupid but at least intriguing concept of the factions, then I would not be as frustrated as I am. Not almost. When people asked me what my favourite book was I would say Divergent and now I am not sure what to answer anymore.
