- Slow Clap* This is basically what I thought of the book. I agree. Haven't seen the movie yet but I read the book and it took me a while to trudge through that mess. I tried rereading it for a book club, and gave up. Ugh.

Agreed 100%, especially on the lousy world-building and plot, and Tris, who' space could be on the page for "Jerk Sue". And the special snowflake stuff... Too much.

Is this Writing 101 ?
NOTE: This review may contain spoilers and talks about the movie version. (I'm about 1/3 in the book, so not enough material for a book review)
There's also some minor things that made me cringe or laugh (like the Narmy death of MC's Mom with Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, or how Eric, a Drill Sergeant Nasty worse than Four let Mary Sue continue despite forbiding her to continue), and to it's movie credit, there's some funny Lampshade Hanging here and there, but nothing to really save it.
