Kelsey | 572 comments Me too, Divergent is my favorite! The entire initiation process was just soo good, I couldn't get enough of it (and thankfully, there was plenty of it). And the end didn't absolutely kill me like in Allegiant, which is always a bonus. :)


Belle ~carry on my wayward son~ (BelleWinchester) | 380 comments Divergent...hands down. It was just so cool and everything was new and things weren't so complicated. but the whole series was great. :)


message 3: by Hannah (new)

Hannah | 66 comments Divergent was my favourite. But I did like the adventure into Candor and Amity Headquarters in Insurgent. I found Allegiant (Don't get me wrong... I LOVED IT!!) kinda confusing with Tobias narrating some of it.
(STILL LOVED THE WHOLE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Jess | 24 comments Of course the first book divergent. I fell in love with the whole series though. Their all great books


message 5: by Hannah (new)

Hannah | 66 comments Same here. I really liked the mystery of what was outside the fence, but when they got there... It was kinda boring.... To normal, in a way.

Clara Mouawad | 55 comments dunno i like all of them but i think the best is divergent (the second is allegiant)


message 14: by Kariny (new)

Kariny  (booksoffandom) | 8 comments Divergent definitly:P


message 15: by Eri (new)

Eri (musicspeaksforemotionsunsaid) | 9 comments Divergent. May i be honest and say that I did not read the whole series. I really didnt like Insurgent and I had no interest in what was gonna happen next. Possibly because it was too easy to figure what was happening next, as well as my ex bf doesnt know how to keep his mouth shut ( AKA He spoiled it for me ) So yea ;-;


Belle ~carry on my wayward son~ (BelleWinchester) | 380 comments awww. That sucks. You should punch your ex *in the balls* (jk) yeah. seems to me, majority of people think Divergent was the best. XD


message 17: by Eri (new)

Eri (musicspeaksforemotionsunsaid) | 9 comments Because it was XD And trust me when i say this. He was a bit of an asshole tbh. So it shouldnt have been a suprise to him what was happening. I slapped him in the back of the head wen he spoiled it cx


message 18: by Eri (new)

Eri (musicspeaksforemotionsunsaid) | 9 comments Im very straight forward. XD


message 19: by Connie (new)

Connie (proseandconnie) I liked Divergent the best, by far. Insurgent was a pretty good sequel. Allegiant was meh, alright.


message 20: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments Yeah, that was a good book! I loved the trilogy but Allegiant was kinda disappointing. Oh well, at least it was entertaining. :)


message 21: by Maya (new)

Maya (ladycarstairs31) | 40 comments Divergent first, Insurgent close second, and a cliff drop below that, Allegiant.


message 22: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments That is exactly the order of my favorites :D


message 23: by Maya (new)

Maya (ladycarstairs31) | 40 comments :)


message 24: by MiMi (new)

MiMi (planetearthturnsslowly) I cannot choose. they are all amazing. Divergent was where it all started, but in Insurgent they were really together (even though they argued quite a bit) but Allegiant was just hearbreaking


message 25: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments Yeah, Insurgent was really good. It definitely kept me on my toes, but I don't think it had that something that Divergent had.


message 26: by MiMi (new)

MiMi (planetearthturnsslowly) i dont get why everyone hates allegiant. i mean yeah the ending, but it was still a great book before that and the ending was still a good ending no matter how sad it was


message 27: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments For me it wasn't just the ending that didn't make it the best, a lot of things didn't add up for me. My biggest problem was the POVs. I love that she decided to add Tobias's perspective but if it wasn't for his name at the beginning of the chapter, I wouldn't have known it was him who was talking. It was just too monotonous for me and got kind of boring. And the reason for tampering with someones genes doesn't seem realistic. I mean everyone all at once decided to get their genes changed? Not one person said maybe it wasn't a good idea? That just seemed convenient for me. Even more so, the ending to the book just didn't satisfy me. I'm sure it's realistic to say that even though they mind-wiped everybody that it would still be difficult to make that sweeping change they all were talking about. But having said that, I still do think it's a good book. I thought the twists were interesting and no matter what kept me from reading the book I still squeezed in time for it so I could read as much of it as possible. And even after all that I didn't love about it, she still made me cry like a baby and that's what actually made me love her as an author. And long story short, Allegiant just wasn't her best book in my opinion.


message 28: by MiMi (new)

MiMi (planetearthturnsslowly) That is true, and I agree with you. But I was reading through reviews of Allegiant and A LOT of them said something along the lines of "I hate this book Veronica Roth is horrible!" When that is just because of the ending. She is still a great writer, especially if everyone loved her first and second book.


message 29: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments @Ruby: Eek! I absolutely love you for using that gif right now! :P And yeah, definitely not the worst book I've ever read but just not the best either.

@ MiMi: Really?! I can't imagine hating somebody for just writing a sad ending. That's what books are supposed to do, make you feel! And yeah, she's definitely a great writer, her other books just speak to how great she is.


message 30: by Renae (new)

Renae | 116 comments I find that either Divergent or Allegiant was the best. And I'm kind of leaning more to the Divergent side but Allegiant was still worth while.

But I can't believe that this trilogy is over now and the epilogue was beautiful, especially the zip lining part with Tobias.


message 31: by Sophia (new)

Sophia  | 5 comments Hello I'm a new member and my favorite book in the trilogy was Insurgent.


message 32: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments @Ruby: Haha, you know it! :P
@Renae: Yeah, all the books were pretty great :D
@Sophia: Ooh, Insurgent was a pretty great one! I could never see all the twists and turns that came!


message 33: by Rosally (new)

Rosally | 189 comments Well for me 1st Divergent 2nd Allegiant and 3rd Insurgent. I liked Allegiant better than Insurgent because the ending was so unexpected and totally blew me away!


message 34: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments Haha, yeah, I definitely did not see the end coming! Allegiant has the prize for Biggest Plot Twist in the bag :P

Hannah | 66 comments :)

Kelsey | 572 comments :D


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

Divergent, Insurgent (didn't really like Allegiant)


message 38: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments Me too! They were all really good but Divergent was definitely my favorite. :)


message 39: by Sar5a (new)

Sar5a (sar5asbooks10) | 5 comments I liked allegiant the best, but the ending was sad.

@ MiMi: Really?! I can't imagine hating some..."


Yes. It is true. I am in the Divergent Fan Club group on here and many people are hatin on Veronica Roth there. So I don't go on there anymore.. Its stupid.


message 41: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments @Sara: That was a great book, I was on my the edge of my seat every time I read it :D

@Mimi: Wow... That's a little much. I mean just because part of the book is sad doesn't mean it's poorly written. Those are two very different things. And yeah, it's kinda sad that they would dis her writing because of one part. No matter what, I'd still read all of her other works :)


message 42: by Maya (new)

Maya (ladycarstairs31) | 40 comments I still think she's a great author despite Allegiant. However, I do think the quality went down on the entire book, not just the ending. I'd still read her other works, though.


message 43: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments @Maya: I'll have to agree with you there. Overall Allegiant was a little lackluster for my tastes. But I'm definitely going to read her mini-stories from Four's perspective. :)

@Kim: Mines too, I loved everything about it!


message 44: by Claire (new)

Claire | 1 comments Divergent insurgent following and allegiant being last


message 45: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Ejsmont | 21 comments Y'all are gonna think that I'm crazy, but honestly Allegiant was my favorite with Divergent a close second and Insurgent last. I didn't really like Insurgent a while lot...


message 46: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments Haha, you're not crazy! Allegiant is a good book :) What'd you love the most about it?!


message 47: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Ejsmont | 21 comments I don't really know. I just think it was the entire concept of the book with the concept of when it's the right time to sacrifice yourself for the ones you love. Although, I hated how much similar the POV for Tris and Tobias were


message 48: by Kelsey, Dean-Winchester-Awesome (new)

Kelsey | 572 comments That is definitely why I love Tris. She was just the ultimate role model for me :) And yeah, it was kinda irritating for me at times seeing how monotonous the different perspectives were.


message 49: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Ejsmont | 21 comments I agree with you :) The perspectives at first seemed prodigal but it makes sense why Veronica did them like that. I just wish she would've made them slightly more different so it would seem more like it was from Tobias when it was his pov, not Tris' slightly altered.


message 50: by Maya (new)

Maya (ladycarstairs31) | 40 comments That's true. Tris and Tobias are very alike in the way they think and act.
