But you're probably right - you'd think they'd all be immune to all the serums they developed. But I really hated how quickly Tris and her gang were all "YEAH! Let's erase THEIR memories so they can't do that to our friends even though we JUST said how horrible it was to even consider doing something like that to anyone!" It really bugged me how hypocritical they seemed!</p> <p>@ChitownRo: I agree - when you have different character's perspectives, it's really important to give them each a unique voice! I had to do the same and check who was talking half the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240570 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 08:44:51 +0000 ChitownRo 1240570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the end and plot satisfying and appropriate. Tris stayed consistent in her character. But, like many YA books, the writing style was poor throughout. I didn't like flipping between Tris and Tobias- mainly because their voices were too similar. I would sometimes have to check to see who the narrator was... That shouldn't happen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240469 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 07:29:25 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1240469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coastmama: i hear that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240232 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 21:30:41 +0000 coastmama 1240232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The end bothered me so bad that I can't even participate in this conversation. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240105 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:20:12 +0000 twodoghouse 1240105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: I didn't think of it at the time, but you're right about it being like Truman Show! Every time they had the scenes with the viewing screens, though, I kept thinking "there's no way they could really be surveilling them like that." Maybe I am getting too old and skeptical for books like this!</p> <p>Did anyone else have an issue with the idea that Tris was going to release the memory serum and make everyone at the Bureau forget their mission, except that an antidote exists and it stands to reason that David/anyone else who was really important would already be immune to the memory serum? It just seems like David would be immune to all of serums (he was to the death serum, right?) that existed so something like this couldn't happen. But I guess that wasn't convenient for the plot, so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240088 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:10:36 +0000 Adira 1240088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: haha, I didn't think of that, but that totally makes sense! It's so similar, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240086 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:09:56 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1240086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone think of The Truman Show while reading? That's all I could think of once they found out there were people outside the fence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240079 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:08:05 +0000 Adira 1240079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: I agree with you - once I got into Tobias' head, I didn't like him as much. But I understand why she did it, considering her plans for Tris!</p> <p>I actually didn't mind one bit that Tris died - I thought that was fine. What I didn't like was basically the entire plot, haha. I really didn't get the point of the "cities". It seems like if people's genes are just going to heal over time, why did they need to segregate people into cities? I don't really see what the purpose of it was.</p> <p>@twodoghouse: And you basically said what I did - I agree with you 100%!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1240061 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:01:20 +0000 twodoghouse 1240061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: I agree. I found Tobias to be sort of whiny/overly emotional in Allegiant! I liked him (and Tris, actually) much better in Divergent. </p> <p>I understand why Roth had Tris die and I guess I was ok with it (though it made me cry like a baby at the time!) but I just felt like Allegiant had a pretty weak plot altogether. I felt like Divergent started off SO strong and the other two books were sort of a letdown in comparison. The whole premise that was revealed in Allegiant (that the cities were these experiments to correct genetic issues) seemed really contrived. I just couldn't really believe it, if that makes sense. Plus, my husband is about halfway through Allegiant now and he (so practical) keeps mentioning that Roth seems to know approximately nothing about genetics and it's driving him crazy! So I don't think that improves my impression of the books in the long run, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239816 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 17:02:20 +0000 Mammabare 1239816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was angry. I barely wanted to finish it once it became clear to me what was going to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239685 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 15:18:54 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1239685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the opposite. I preferred Tobias be a strong silent character. Once I started hearing him I didn't love him as much. I was confused by the flip flopping and often had to go back to see who was talking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239661 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 14:52:15 +0000 Weagle 1239661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also didn't really love Tris. I never felt particularly attached to her, but I did to Four. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239641 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 14:39:40 +0000 MrsTal 1239641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was angry when I finished Allegiant but the more I thought on it, the more I liked it. She kept the integrity and heart of Tris' character, which I liked. I also enjoyed the flip flopping narrative as I enjoyed seeing Four's perspective. I felt like Veronica Roth really didn't compromise her characters and the story line. Yes, it was hard to read it, but it was a fitting end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239607 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 14:22:47 +0000 MrsRoo 1239607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Angry and very disappointed. </p> <p>Still pretty excited for the movies, though... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239601 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 14:20:50 +0000 Weagle 1239601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemong: I kind of liked the flip-flopping narrative, but I think because it endeared me to Four more than the other books had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239596 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 14:19:25 +0000 lemong 1239596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! So upset! And not happy with Allegiant either - I didn't like the flip-flopping narrative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239595 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 14:19:16 +0000 Weagle 1239595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Angrily, maybe not. Disappointed, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divergent-insurgent-allegiant-spoilers#post-1239531 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 13:41:46 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1239531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone finish this series as angrily as I did? </p>
