Allegiant by Veronica Roth

Why: I had to read the concluding book of the series (I reviewed the other books here and here). And Outliers wasn't going so well. I needed some brain candy.

When: start 10/25/13, end 10/27/13

How: as an ebook on my ipad (purchased as always from the local independent bookseller)

Thoughts: Well. It was okay. I got a little bored a few times. I was kind of disappointed at what was beyond the fence. It was not the best book of the series. But I'm glad I've read the whole series for sure. The thing about great dystopian stories is when I can so clearly see the possibility of them actually happening. That's why 1984 terrifies me so much. Same with The Hunger Games. Same with The Road. I can imagine how these worlds could come about and I can imagine myself walking within them and it terrifies me. But I just couldn't see it with this series.

This book travels from
divergence to genetics
I missed life inside.
