For me, the books got increasingly bad. Interesting first one, mediocre second one, third one is awful. So, no matter the suspense, don't read the third one! Ha! Interesting that you liked the movie Insurgent so much. I didn't really like the movie Divergent, so I was planning on just writing off Insurgent. But...you have me intrigued again now.

Then I watc...I read the first book and thought, Eh. Then I watched the first movie and with fifteen or so minutes left, shut my laptop. It was just kind of boring. So today I saw Insurgent and I loved it! I still don't want to read the book though, which is strange for me, but I think I'm going to stick to the movies on this one. There are just too many Hunger Games parallels. Watching the movie with a friend who is as familiar with Hunger Games as myself made it fun. We'd say things like, "Just like Peeta," or "Mockingjay?" because there were just too many similarities. When it was revealed that this was all an experiment we both said, "The Maze!" Obviously Tris and Four are very different from Thomas and Theresa, but the parallel was still there. I'm excited about the last movie! If they split it into two parts the suspense might just drive me to the novels. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
