Allegiant book Review

     Yesterday afternoon I finished reading Allegiant. It was the fifth book I read this year. That's not bad considering that I only read about four books last year. I've already eclipsed my total from 2013. That being said let's review Allegiant.

     Allegiant starts out with Tris and her friends fleeing the city. After the events of Insurgent, Tris and her friends decide to leave the city and see what's beyond the fence. They find this compound where Tris' mother worked before she came to the city. They find out where she came from, and what kind of work she did before the events of Divergent. However Tris and Tobias soon learn that there's not a lot of good people who work at this compound. It's smart not to trust anyone who is in a high position in this compound because they only care about keeping their experiments going. They don't care what the cost is.

    Before I read this book, I had heard some pretty mediocre reviews. So I was interested to see what that was all about. One thing that's different is that this book is split so that Tris has point of view chapters, and so does Tobias. I thought that was interesting and it was cool to see things through his eyes. I have to say about 440 pages in, I had a bad feeling about how it was going to end. I thought to myself, "The axe is going to drop and I don't know how." I was enjoying the book until I got to the very end. The end completely ruined the book for me. I don't want to spoil anything for those who have not read it, but I almost didn't want to finish it. I wanted to stop reading right then and there and start reading something else. I'm sure people who have read the book know what I'm referring to. That's how distraught I was. You know when these movies come out there going to split Allegiant into 2 movies because they always do. I'm not going to see it whenever it comes out.

    Overall Allegiant was good until the final ten chapters or so, but those last chapters where brutal. I'm going to rate Allegiant 2.8 out of 5 stars. The series as a whole is worth reading I'll rate the series as a whole 3.8 out of 5 stars. I'll be reading the first Sherlock Holmes novel "A Study in Scarlet" over the next few weeks. I'll probably be posting a review for that whenever I finish it.
