Review



Ok, picture the scene..........

You decide to treat yourself and order yourself a lovely takeaway, your absolute favorite, mine would be Chinese.........yummmmm

BUT you sit there for over an hour , waiting for the bloody thing to arrive, and then when it does you realize that you have gone past the hunger and you just sort of pick at it? I mean you enjoy it, but it's not the same as shoving it down your throat and saying mmmmm mmmm between every bite.

And then to top it all off the bloody idiots have forgotten the chips !!!!

Well that's how i felt about this book, to be honest i wasn't that fussed on the first one really, i was really looking forward to it and it had sat on my TBR pile for ages, (I have to admit i am a bit of an average star rating junkie, more that a 4 i'm in!)

Sooooo, the book sort of starts up just after the other one had finished, but again it really doesn't explain the whole faction thing, i mean why can't you be truthful, kind, clever and wreckless at the same time? why does this make you a bad person, why is there a need to wipe out these people, and what the hell does Divergent mean anyway???

The romance didn't outweigh the book too much as it does in other books, but i wish that Triss would make her mind up about whether his name is Four or Tobias, i mean just choose one for goodness sake.

So the Dauntless are once again the badass of the book and then it all goes political about the different factions and also introduces more factionless characters.

Anyway, it was an ok read, but it would have been better with chips !
