I soooo freaking agree with your spoiler... I was so upset about that... still one of the best adaptions I've seen *awkward face*

Lol Zoe, it was pretty good. Though, I'm still trying to get used to Shailene Woodley as Tris.. it did take me a while to get used to J.Law as Katniss.

I don't know what I'm gonna do when Allegiant comes out... But I agree with you Robin about Shai as Tris, but only because Tris isn't supposed to be as pretty as Shai, weird complaint I know but Tris was described as not very pretty, Tobias even admitted it. But I think she plays her really well...

Really enjoyed the book, the movie was great but it did have it's flaws. It also took me some getting used to see shailene play tris, I totally had a different picture in mind, but she's good.

A lot of people have been saying that the end of Allegiant might ruin the movie franchise a little, and I have to say that it kind of ruined the books for me. It didn't seem necessary I was really upset with it. I genuinely liked the first book a lot though and the movie was great!

A lot of people say that about Allegiant the book... I disagree. I mean yes, Veronica had the option not to do that, but by doing it one: she stands apart. I may not have read every YA novel out there, but I do know most of them don't do what happened. Secondly, what happened shows how strong and confident of a writer Veronica is. Most writers probably wouldn't even be able to do that, just because well, it's just something you don't do. And it shows we confidence as a writer because something like that can take down the whole franchise. It's like a needle being jabbed at a ballon.

So while I may not completely agree with what she did and wish It hadn't of happened... It was good for her, and how painful it is for me to say this, a good way to start the ending to the book.

I have yet to finish the books let alone get started on the movie so yeah..I am a bit behind though once I get to rereading the series again i'll probably be attached like I am with Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. I was in the middle of book 2 on my Kindle though my Kindle has been restarted multiple times so i'm just going to order the books when I can.

You are going yo really enjoy the the books, but don't get hopes too high for the movie.
