divergent and insurgent are shit i read them out of pure boredom (I was on a road trip and had finished all of my books and needed something to read so I borrowed divergent.) its shit i will list the reasons below.
it somehow manage to rip off the feel of twighlight and the subject of hunger games.
its aimed at the 3edgy5you teens who will eat up anything with YOUNG ADULT and DISTOPIA
obvious love interest is obvious because they spend so much time discussing eye color.
"distopia" means something that seems like a utopia but on the inside isn't. the world in divergent is so clearly fucked up its a wonder no ones noticed.
IM DIFFERNT!!!1 IM DIVERGENT CEW HUH!
the book is 99.9% nervousness. or description of being nervous.
all the factions suck and control your entire existence,

did these need to be separate posts

Yeah? And water is wet.
Shit? You don't know fucking nothing. The first and the second are just plain YA novels; bad, but readable.
But the third one... It's something else. It's no joke the worst book I've ever laid my eyes upon. It makes 1 and 2 look like masterpieces in comparison. It's THAT bad.
>that cover design
I have no sympathy for you; you knew what you were getting into.

Same could be said about the Twilight books. The last one was unbearable.

That's what the plebs want.
Do we give it to them or do we elevate literature to a respectable level again?
Will /lit/ save lit?

What about 1984? The world in it is clearly fucked up to the reader.
>>8214161
What happens in the third book? Sounds like an entertaining shitstorm.

Why the fuck did you waste your time reading this utter shite? Fuck you OP. You're a rat's arsehole. Suck my fat hairy bollocks. I hope you get rabies.

>Divergent is terrible
I don't know what you expected. Most YA fiction can be described as such:
>be teen me (main character)
>not popular, but not really outcast, no matter what I describe it as
>small group of friends (aka, normal)
>feel like I don't belong
>be not special
>oh wait, I am special! How unexpected!
>Make new friends
>Suddenly, I'm smarter or more talented than most of the adults in my life
>the adults or some powers that be are trying to put me down
>Have some sort of love interest
>Maybe I need to choose between two?
>Anyways, I totally end up with someone, but it's mostly talking, maybe some kissing
>suddenly the leader of my new friends
>save the day
>but the battle wasn't over... the war was just beginning.
