I first read it a while ago but I'm rereading it in preparation for the movie!
I know right!?!?! At first I thought their choice for Four was too old looking (he looks like he's 23ish to me...) but judging by how mature he is in the book, it somehow suits his character! As soon as I saw the trailer, I was bouncing up and down and screaming in excitement!! I'm a total fangirl hahahaha :D

Lucky duck!! I can't go to the premiere (stupid school...) sadly :(

I loved this book. I must say the next two weren't as good in my opinion, but this one is amazing!

Though the ending of ALLEGIANT takes the cake. Beautiful and moving (if heartbreaking). Veronica Roth is such a great storyteller!
Kate wrote: "Though the ending of ALLEGIANT takes the cake. Beautiful and moving (if heartbreaking). Veronica Roth is such a great storyteller!"Exactly! A lot of authors wouldn't have the courage to do what she did and a lot of readers got like murderously angry with her (I'll admit I was too). But if you stop and think about it, it fit with (view spoiler) personality perfectly and the overall story!
@Laura Oh, I wasn't angry for a second. :) Though I BAWLED, I loved it. It was beautifully done and a perfect way to end the series.
I love the world building in this book. I kind of wish i was in a faction. I've thought really hard about that too lol.And is it okay if i am in love with a fictional character. Four... he is just perfect.
And Tris is pretty awesome herself. She can defend herself and isn't helpless as some YA femal protaganist are.
