Hey y'all! Today I wanted to do a book review
Or actually I guess it's a series of books review
If you have not read the Divergent books please do not
watch this video. Because I have some very strong feelings about the series and I am
going to just speak my mind. And these are my opinions, no one else's.
It's just kind of what I thought about the series.
I'm going to start with book 1 which is Divergent. Y'all I read this book because I knew the
film was going to come out. And of course, I always try to read the book before the movie
comes out because it's just better. It always is. To me. So I started reading it and it's
been about a month ago. And I could not get enough of this book. I read it, I want to
say, in a few hours. You know, it was split up but it didn't take very long to finish
the book. And I loved it, I just loved it. I couldn't
get enough. We of course met all the main characters and we saw relationships grow and
some relationships kind of blow up. And you, I don't know it's just, it's all about I guess,
building relationships. Every body kind of, the young people finding out who they are
and finding out who, somebody you thought you knew and now they're completely different
person. I don't know, I really liked it and I could not wait to read the second book.
I just hurried up, I just read as fast as I could because it was so good. I just loved
it and now I want to finish the review before I talk about the movie. There's kind of a
little love story that gets started in the first one. And I really thought it was going
to just be awesome story and they, they're finding out who they are kind of. And how
to react in a romantic relationship and all this kind of stuff. Well then I read book
2 which is Insurgent. And I couldn't wait to read it, I just, because Divergent was
so good, I couldn't wait to read Insurgent. And I started it and I still loved it but
I felt like they gave away the ending to the series too soon. I feel like they gave it
away in book 2, in Insurgent. Because by the end of that book, before, way before, the
book even ended, I knew what was, I kind of, pretty much knew...I'm trying not to give
anything away but I mean I kind of knew what the ending was going to be. You kind of, you
get it that there's going to be more outside those walls. And I couldn't, I don't know
I just feel like they gave it away too soon. And basically in book 2 everything kind of
comes to a head and you know, things are found out and things happen. And in my opinion,
they should've ended the book, they should've ended the series with book 2. And just kind
of you know let it go on, just let our thoughts go on from there. And then by the end of book
2, and I kind of knew what was going to happen in book 3, I didn't want, I wanted to read
book 3 but I was kind of disappointed. I wanted to read it just to see if I was right about
the ending. So I hurried up and finished book 2 and then I started on book 3. Now this is
only, this was within a few days. Like I read everything in just a few days. So book 3 is
Allegiant. And I read through it so fast because...and maybe I read through it too fast, I don't
know. But I wanted to see how it ended, I just wanted it to be over by this point. I
wanted to see who would live, who would die, and I just wanted an ending. Like to me it
just went on too long. They could have ended it way sooner. And I think they should have,
my opinion. I think they should've ended it with book 2. In book 3 and it might have been
in book 2, because it's been a month ago, like I said, since I've watched, since I've
read them all. But Tris tried to kill herself so many times. And I felt like it got old.
Like, I felt like, just kill her off already. Kind of, I mean I didn't want her to die,
I really didn't, but I was to the point where, just let something happen. Either let her
go ahead and die in the book or not, just let us get it done. Alright. And I loved her
and Four's relationship in the first 2 books, but by the end of the, or by book 3, I felt
bad. Like I just felt so sad for both of them. Because they just couldn't get it together.
They couldn't get their emotions right and all these things were going on. And I thought
it was just a horrible time for them to be attracted to each other. Well, the ending.
I just, I'm sorry y'all. It made me mad. By the time the girl actually dies and she dies
for a good reason and all that. But by the time she dies, I was just mad. I did not,
I could not believe they, after all that, all those time she almost died, all that crap
she went through, all the crap he went through to save her and save their people, and all
that. I couldn't believe they actually killed her off. And I was freaking ticked off. And
then, they're going to, and then it should've ended. Just let it be there, we don't even
need to know nothing else. But no, they're going to make you sad after they make you
mad. I finished that book and the boy carried around her ashes for 2 years? I don't even
know. Anyway, when I finished that book, I was literally depressed. I was sad and depressed
and I could not believe that that's how they ended that book. So those are my feelings
on the books. Now I also watched the trailers for the movie. And if I'm not mistaken, her
mom doesn't know, or her mom, yea her mom doesn't know she's Divergent right, until
later on. But in the movie, they're making her mom know in the first one. So I don't
know if they're not making more, if they're just going to combine them all together, I
don't know. I haven't read much on it, I just watched the trailers and I think that they're
putting a lot from the other 2 books into this movie Divergent. And I don't know, I
really kind of hope they change the freaking ending to the movie. Otherwise I'm going to
be, going to be freaking sad and depressed. But not only that, I just think that the first
book was awesome, the second book was good, and they should've stopped it. And the third
book should not even exist. That's just my opinion and I get fired up over books and
movies. Because that just, I just love books and movies. But that, the way they ended that
I don't know. I was mad! And then I was sad. So that's kind of my, how I'm feeling about
all this. And I don't know, I was going, when I first started reading Divergent, I had seen
where she wrote more of the story in Four's perspective. Like some short stories or something.
And I was going to buy them but by the time I got to the end of Allegiant, I was so freaking
ticked off I wasn't going to, I wasn't about to read nothing else. You kind of get his
perspective in the other book so, I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, I guess that's
it. I know I kind of get fired up and I was mad. And I waited this long, this is me calmed
down. But I waited this long to do the review because I don't know, I just needed to calm
down a little bit. But let me know if you've read it, what you thought about it. Let me
know if I need to go re-read it to get something else out of it. Because I don't mind doing
that but did you have any feelings about they way she died or that she died, or that they
showed us what happened them 2 years after? I mean some people want to know what goes
on after. But they way this book ended I just got so freaking sad y'all. After being mad.
So it was like a freaking emotional roller coaster for 2 hours of reading the end these
books, this series. So anyway let me know if you read it, if you're going to watch the
movie. Tell me what you thought about it. Tell me if I'm being too *** it, if I
need to give it another try. But I don't know. All in all I would give this probably, a C.
I would give the whole series a C. But that's just me. But anyway, I hope you guys are having
a great day. Thanks for watching. Bye y'all.
