But I enjoyed your review, it made me have a rething.<br />Thanks, Lynn<br />:DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116811800215368408.post-67943244948852538992011-08-13T02:34:10.050+01:002011-08-13T02:34:10.050+01:00Great review!

I actually did mostly enjoy Divergent while I was reading it and was going to give it 4 stars, but once I started writing about it, all the issues I had with it just came out and I realised the flaws. This was one of the hardest reviews I've written; trying to voice the problems but still give a sense of why it was an enjoyable read.TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832981435264804886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116811800215368408.post-11572831189317080142011-08-11T23:39:48.772+01:002011-08-11T23:39:48.772+01:00I didn't mind Divergent but I thought all of y...I didn't mind Divergent but I thought all of your points were valid ones. I found many of the training methods and practices of the Dauntless intiates really useless. What does jumping off a building and on and off a train have to do with being brave? And if bravery is the goal then why are they punished for standing up for each other? Isn't that the supreme act of bravery? Besides Four and Tris towards the end, I didn't feel connected to any of the other characters either. Wow, it sounds like I didn't like Divergent at all which I did. There were just a few holes that I still can't quite get past. Your review said everything I wanted to say but couldn't!

I enjoyed your review (it intriguied me almost as much as the book jacket b/c now I want to know what I'm going to think). Great job!<br />Ninja GirlNinja Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901215698632029838noreply@blogger.com
