The fact that the series with the "Hunger Games" trilogy is compared, I can understand, but have to say that the reason exactly, is in retrospect why I always like to read "Divergent", "insurgent" and "Allegiant" ,
A social system, are divided into the people into different groups and a protagonist who does not conform society behaves and thus is ultimately the midst of a revolution. The parallels are clearly visible, but I never had the feeling of being in Panem.
Like some others here, I found however, that the books unfortunately from the first to third band got worse and worse. While I read until late at night at the beginning of the series, I had later been rouse genuine to take the books at least once for an hour in the Hand me. Actually, I would have given only three stars, but "Divergent" I found so wonderful, and I would have gladly given alone more than five stars for this. On average, I have therefore decided to use four stars.
What I really liked: Tris was a very sympathetic protagonist whose actions I could understand in most cases for me. Unfortunately, this is not in any book like that. However, I must also say that it has not really evolved over the series. The one or the other corner would certainly done her good. Of course there were again one or the other scene, where I found the story somewhat exaggerated or implausible, but kept the borders in the whole.
The most interesting and clandestine main character of the series is for me but definitely Four. I liked him from the first second. When I think about it, he was probably one of the reasons that I have ever read "Insurgent" and "Allegiant" to end ..
The end of the series I found very successful. I even have a few tears squashed as I imagined certain situations figuratively. Too bad that the story was not presented so beautifully throughout. Then there were definitely five star!
The style of Veronica Roth is pretty easy and fluent to read - although I could not translate every word, there was no problem to follow the action, and I did not afterwards feel to have understood something important.
