I read
this book after all the hype was over with the teens. I do agree that fans of paranormal
fiction will definitely enjoy it. For me though, there was nothing original
from the other similar trilogies – Divergent, Delirium, The Giver, etc. The communities
are divided by skill, personalities, or other characteristic then either work
together or compete against each other. In each trilogy, there is always a
governmental department that controls the communities and eventually one person
or group fight back. Guess who wins in the end?? In my opinion, for an authors
to succeed in this genre they need to develop more original ideas. However, the
books still seem to be very popular with the teens and I’m glad they are
reading. I do plan on listening to the rest of trilogy, if for nothing else but
see if there ends up being an originality.
