Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) What are your thoughts about the Divergent trilogy?
Discuss here. :D


David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 146 comments I really loved the first book and thought the second one was nearly as good :) One of my favorite dystopians!

Actually I think the second was way much better than the first.
The end was a cliffhanger:)


David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 146 comments For me it was hard to beat the novelty of the concept of the first one, but that's just me ;) And the first had a cliffy too didn't it?


harshini  (watchmeread) | 472 comments Yes the first had a cliffy, but it wasn't too bad if you asked me!


message 6: by Zee (new) - rated it 4 stars

Zee @ David, the first one was okay, the second was phenomenal. I'm adamant about this issue:)
@ Har, the second had a better cliffy. JUST SAYING!


David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 146 comments Lol sometimes a "better" cliffy is actually worse, just my opinion ;) Not that I can talk, I'm becoming notorious for big time cliffies haha!


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I prefer Divergent than Insurgent because Tris was whiny on the second book and more arguments between her and Four and a bit confusing for me at first.

LOL!
Okay, you have a point.
What kind of less cliffy books have you read?

Tris was more whiny. It made the novel a bit annoying in some scenes. Yet, I still think it was better than the first:)

What's good about her is she is small but terrible. Still Whiny.. :P lol hahaha!

I can't wait for the conclusion though. I hope it's good.

Me too.
The end of Insurgent was very good indeed.
An outside community? WOW!

Lol Harry Potter is the best example of how it's so unnecessary to have cliffhangers and yet still make people want to read the sequels. That's what I'm striving for in my new series but it's really hard!


harshini  (watchmeread) | 472 comments Lol David! You still give people ciffies even when you don't like them! Harry Potter ciffhangers are like what the... the book just ended! But the book is so big it could go on for another chapter!!

I am still reading Insurgent but so far I thought Divergent was more attention grabbing than the second book :P


harshini  (watchmeread) | 472 comments Yeah I have heard that a lot! But they say at the end gets really better so, I guess we will have to wait and see

It's a sister series to Dwellers :) I think we talked about the first book before, Fire Country (Country Saga, #1) by David Estes ? At least I think so but I have a terrible memory :) It's about different tribes of people on earth on very different climates and how they're all linked. I'll be revealing the cover for the second one soon and it comes out on April 5th. Ice Country (Country Saga, #2) by David Estes

And I have put it own once again :p


harshini  (watchmeread) | 472 comments Lol, Nat hope you finish it soon :)

LOL David! :) Fire Country sounds good, I always wanted to read a dystopia that covers the entire world and not just one part of the world

Oh yes. I remembered. I think I need to re-read the book. I sort of forgot the other things happened. :)

Aww thanks although I must admit it's not the whole world, just a handful of countries in the same area of the world :) Sorry!


harshini  (watchmeread) | 472 comments Oh well, it's close! I think Divergent is just like one city!
