A review by silvia_linn
Divergent Series 3-Book Box Set: Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant by Veronica Roth
3.0
In no way am I in the habit of saying this... the movies were better. I loved the story line right away futuristic out of control government and an underdog rebellion? Yes please. The books however, were a let down. The dialogue was difficult to follow and unvaried. Tris’ mind is better left to the imagination. The third book is jarring and the dialogue is the worst of the trilogy.
My least favorite difference (and what makes me prefer the movies) is Tris’ personality. In the movies, she’s a badass. She’s sure. Four leans on her. She’s the hero. In the books she’s an insecure, kind of annoying, needy little girl. I get it we’re all a little less confident in our minds, but it would have massively benefitted the books to have them all from Four’s perspective.
Give our girls someone to look up too, not someone who needs a guy to reassure her every step of the way.
