It's short and bad and if rest of the series are the same I don't know why aren't they published as one book. I doubt I'll continue reading, nothing about this book made me want to.
This one is better than the previous one, fun, easy to read and quite funny. It could be a good summer read or something that you want to read just for fun
I must say that I expected so much more, since I only heard good things about the book. But somehow it didn't do too much for me, maybe part of it was because I read the translation (not that translation is bad necessarily I haven't seen the original) and of course part of it were the expectations. It's a nice story and there are some wonderful quotes, but all together it could have been a much better book. I would like a bit more of the character development that hey we are Hazel and Augustus and we are sick and that is practically the only thing that defines them. I shed a few tears in the end but I didn't feel that I connected really well with the book. Do I recommend it? I don't know, read some of the other reviews and then decide I'm undecided.

A whole book for friggin' 20 new pages, the first one wasn't a masterpiece so why write another one. It seems like the writer doesn't have enough story ideas so we had to hear the same story in few different words. Another problem with this there is not enough distinction in style to mark the female and male POV. If you are doing it well you could at least do it right. Do I recommend this book, no read Beautiful disaster and last 20 pages of this one and you'll be good.
So a review, of this book and this trilogy in general. If you haven't read it and want to it might be a good idea to skip this review to avoid spoilers. This book and the trilogy was easy to read, which is good if it's what you are looking for. Thing I didn't like about Allegiant is that it introduced another point view, Tobias's. Since I've read that the book won't have a conventional happy end I was already suspicious at that point of Tris's survival and as the book progressed I was more and more convinced that she won't make it, turns out I was right. I just hoped that she would have a more meaningful and powerful death, not oh I'm immune to death serum, but yeah I was stupid and left my gun outside because I didn't think I'd need it anymore. I think that Tris's death was just a way for Roth to provoke emotions and tears at the end of the book. I don't mind killing off characters (even main ones) but give me a good reason for it. Another thing that bugged me about two points of view was inconsistency with the other books (she should have done it from the beginning) and the fact that I constantly had to think, oh whose point view am I reading now, if only there was more differences in the style of writing between point views it would have been much better. So there are many comparisons with this and Hunger games trilogy, I would say they are pretty different and the only thing that connects them is that both are YA dystopias. Do I like this or Hunger games better, well I must say my vote goes to Hunger games. But I enjoyed reading Divergent and I don't regret it, it just isn't as good some other books.

The second book of the trilogy, also a good one :) In the first one we had the introduction, to learn something about the world we are reading about, and in this one it's more questions, things to be solved and in the end the revelation that will lead to the end. This one also is an easy and quick book to read. I found pacing myself because I don't want this trilogy to be over too soon. Onto the third book :)

Fast paced, interesting and quick to read. I'm immediately continuing with the second book. The reason this didn't get five stars is that it didn't sweep me off my feet, and for five stars I expect that in a book, something new and exciting what will leave me with permanent feeling of joy for reading it. This was really good but similar to some other stuff and the style of writing could be a little more complex. For now I like where the storyline goes, onto the second book :D

I've meant to write a review right after reading but I didn't have the time and now I'm struggling with what to write. I liked the second book also and now I can't wait for the third one. I thought that the story will be a little bit quicker, we found out some important pieces of the puzzle but nothing concrete. I've read that there might be a second trilogy and if we continue at this pace it will definitely be necessary. I think that my theories about some of the characters are pretty similar to the ones I managed to read on the internet. We will see what happens when the third book comes out (so in forever ^_^).
It starts a little slow and I started to read it casually. I thought it would continue that way but magic happened and the book gripped me tightly and I was the usual "just one more chapter" until 5 in the morning XD
Nothing special, quick beach read when you don't want to think about anything. Writing is fluent and the story-line keeps you interested but nothing special about this book.
I'm not the one to read the crime books but I wanted to read the main source after watching and loving the British series Sherlock. And the book didn't disappoint me, it is short but I like the flow of writing and character descriptions. I will definitely read more Doyle :)
Finally finished this one too, I really don't know what rating I will give to it, maybe one or two stars, because it was a long and not particularly interesting book. I watched the movie too and I liked it much more. By the end of the book I was really tired of their journeys just by reading it. Too much description and too little real action and character growth.
I am finally finished *wooooohooooo* :D It's been a year and I don't want to hear about this book anymore. I really hate leaving books unfinished so I had to finish it and now I feel completely competent to go whaling XD Do I recommend the book, if you are interested in whaling then yes in all other cases NO. I admit this book was a trial for my patience, but now, finally it's over and I can go on and read something else on the beach :D
Writing a sequel was a mistake and I think most of the people agree with that. Title also doesn't reflect the content properly because there is no revenge going on. It was a quick read as most of the chick lit books are and it wasn't completely terrible but it didn't have the spirit that the first book had.
I'm writing a review for the whole trilogy and the only reasonable place to put it, I think is here. I've given all three books a four star rating but I think if there could be half points this would be a four and a half but since there isn't I settled on four because I didn't think it was that amazing even though I really enjoyed reading it.
It wasn't very funny to me, maybe it's not my type of humor. it's a collection of little stories that only have in common the main character (and her parents, but they are kind of a background)and they are supposed to make you laugh, and then I did't laugh. If you are a fan of her show you might like it I'm not, I watch only episodes if they have a really interesting guest.
