Divergent Trilogy - *WARNING, may contain spoilers!!*

[peanutter]

Anyone read it?

Finished them.

Loved them.

Mostly.

[Trillian]

Loved them. Read them in 4 days and cried like a baby at the end. Didn't see it happening that way.

[peanutter]

Me too!!

Actually, oh wonderful moderator powers, could we please have ** spoiler in the heading?

I totally want to discuss them, and don't want to spoil it for anyone who is waiting for the movies ...

Though that being said, SHAME ON THEM!!

[Beatrix]

Amazing book series!!!

Loved the ending and hated all in one.

[AnyDream]

Currently reading #1. I reckon I've got some good plot predictions going already. Not sure it's going to hit my button quite the same as Hunger Games did. Movie out soon - Apr 10 so DD1 tells me.

[~~Snoogans~~]

Thinking about reading them!

Although, I have heard that it is no where near as good as The Hunger Games Trilogy....happy to be convinced otherwise! So shall keep an eye on this thread

[Trillian]

They are just as excellent as the Hunger Games, and I feel in some ways they are written even better than the Hunger Games were. Much more of a dynamic between older teens having to make adult choices and how those choices affect outcomes and consequences etc.

[peanutter]

Equally readable and enjoyable in my opinion.

I probably preferred the 1st and 2nd Hunger Games, but preferred the 3rd Divergent book.

Overall, probably a tie.

DH *loved* the series. He read Books 1 and 2 in one day each!! Book 3 was longer, but only because he had to do an essay for uni at the same time.

Off to get them for the Kobo...

[BlackCat]

I just looked them up in our library and someone is over due. D'oh! I'll be keeping an eye out for its return.

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Oooh, thanks for the recommendation. Will add to my Easter reading list.

[Trillian]

TFB, you would probably also like the Matched trilogy too. Apparently there have been whispers of that one being turned into a movie as well.

[peanutter]

Anyone watched the flick?

Thoughts?

[BlackCat]

I haven't seen it yet but a friend has who said it was good. Not sure if she read the books or not.

I borrowed the first book from the library and couldnt wait for the second to be returned so went and bought it and in a space of less than a week to finish both first and second books, the third book had 3 reserves at the library (there are 3 copies!) and all the local stores are sold out! Wah!!

[peanutter]

Book depository. Free delivery. Love it.

[Astrolady]

Read all three and saw the movie the next day. I enjoyed the movie, but not sure if I would have enjoyed it without reading the books first.

[peanutter]

I liked it

There's so many bits and characters cut out (always the way, with movies from books) but quite a few of the cut backs leave me wondering how they're going to tie up other things later - I'll just have to wait and see!

I thought the actor for Tobias (droooooooooooooool) was spot on, but some of the others just weren't at all in line with the book.

Not necessarily a problem, but some really weird choices - particularly for Tris and Christina.

The setting was also really different from what I'd pictured - but I think they introduced us to the setting really well, right at the start of the movie.

So for someone like me that loved the Hunger Games book 1&2 more than 3 (and all the fan fiction out there) do you think I will love it as much?
