Nancy's phone conversations from the early part of the game are mentioned because some Nancy Drew collectors have been critical of the game. Note: This review does not spoil the culprit or ending of The Silent Spy. In my case, I am not angry or upset I simply did not find the book to be a worthy conclusion to the Divergent trilogy. I'm not sure when I've ever seen this much anger over a book that I have read. I've seen many people upset that the ending was spoiled for them. The book that they respond with comments spoiling the ending. People have posted on their FacebookĪccounts that they are reading the book, and others are so angry about Of people have been spoiled on Facebook on Veronica Roth's page andĮverywhere else on the internet. I have decided that I will not remove any comments that get posted that spoil the ending, so you have been forewarned.
Readers are so very upset that they are spoiling the book everywhere. I don't know whether people will find this blog post and make comments, but if you are planning to read this book, I caution you against reading any comments that are posted. Even reading the titles of reviews is dangerous. I saw one review on Amazon where the reviewer titled their review with the spoiler for the book's ending. Not read any reviews anywhere, because readers are so enraged about theĮnding that they are spoiling it in their reviews, often in the first If you are planning to read this book, do Besides, I kept wanting to read "GD" as a curse word which didn't help matters any. I really think using "defective" and "pure" would have been much easier on the reader. Going back to the genetically defective and genetically pure people, Roth uses abbreviations for both liberally throughout the text: "GD" and "GP." Each time I saw an abbreviation, I had to stop reading to look at the letters and figure out which was which. The world makes no sense whatsoever, and Roth's attempts in explaining it in this book are woefully insufficient. I didn't have a problem with the world in the first book, because it is so magical and extraordinary. When I read the reviews for the first book in the trilogy, Divergent, the critical reviews complained that the world makes no sense. The government could send people in at any time to further its agenda. Since the book emphasizes how small their world is, I have trouble understanding how solving the conflict in their small area solves the problem for the entire country. Tris, Tobias, and the others have only been in Chicago, and they see maps of the United States. The book mentions multiple times how small their world is and how the Chicago area is but a tiny part of the entire country. The conflict involves people who are genetically pure and others who are genetically defective. This book was not written well, and the plot holes were very obvious. When I thoroughly enjoy a book, I tend to ignore the plot holes. I can think of at least one way that the journey outside the fence would have been made more interesting. The outside of the fence is not much different from the inside of the fence, so I was a bit bored from the beginning of the book. The second book, Insurgent, set up readers for a thrilling reveal for when Tris journeys outside the fence. I believe my lack of reaction was due to me never connecting with the book.
Many people said that they cried at the ending. This could have worked well, but Tobias and Tris were written exactly the same, creating confusion. The point of view alternates between Tris and Tobias, when the first two books were all Tris. The area beyond the fence was a big "nothing." Her descriptions were lacking in the third book. Roth described the setting in Chicago so well in the first book. We went beyond the fence in the third book, and you know what? It wasn't that interesting. During the second book, we had a build up about what exactly was beyond the fence. While I did not like the ending, I believe I would have reacted to it better if the book had been written well. I knew from the bad reviews that I would likely be disappointed. Allegiant is the third and final book in the Divergent trilogy. I finished reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth. This review does not spoil the ending, unlike many of the reviews that have been written for this book.
