Story told by a woman, finding her way in a confusing world.

It is a good story, not too heavy and easy to follow, good characters and interesting world building, simple but gripping.

Pure Nostalgia

I’ve chosen to listen to this book because I loved both the movie and the books back in 2014. The narrator fits Tris and I can say that I’ve truly enjoyed listening to it and reliving what I used to read.

Love the story

Me encanta está historia, la trama es lo más original, pero la lectura es bastante monótona, la actriz no logra imprimirle la emoción necesaria, a veces me quedo dormida escuchándola, pero la historia es tan buena que se soporta, aunque podría ser mucho mejor con otra actriz, quizás.

Good, but rushed at the end.

Bit too rushed at the end. The sudden change in atmosphere is a bit too sharp and fast. But overall good.

He said, she said, I said SCREAM

Would you try another book from Veronica Roth and/or Emma Galvin?

Yes I enjoyed reading the book and Emma Galvin is a great narrator

If you’ve listened to books by Veronica Roth before, how does this one compare?

Ok, honestly I thought I was going to throw my phone to the ground if I heard 'He said' 'I said' 'she said' one more time. It was doing my head in and I some how put up with it throughout the next two books

Did Emma Galvin do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, the differences where there

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes
