The Divergent Trilogy: I *finally* finished it!

I have done it. I have finished reading the Divergent series! I thought it was pretty great. I'm gonna spare you my long, monotonous summary and just give you what the inside covers said about Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant. Personally, I would only advise someone to read this book if they're on board the whole "dystopian-city-love-story" train. It was essentially the Hunger Games revamped and morphed into some new premise.
Divergent Series vs Hunger Games series: What's Different

• Characters
• Premise
• Time setting

What's the Same

• Dystopian society
• Love story
• Struggle to survive forms relationship
• Female Protagonist
• Female Protagonist has a sidekick
• Male Antagonist +Female Antagonist team up against protagonist
• Society divided into groups
• Groups have designated jobs
• I'm too lazy to think of anymore, but you get my point, so that's okay.

Veronica Roth's imagination was great; the entire series was well-thought and well-planned. If only it wasn't like trying to stuff a too big plot into too small dystopian novel jeans. I'd give the book book a 2 for originality, but 9 for concept. Another glitch I found with this book is that it was written at about a fourth or fifth grade reading level. I literally had to do no thinking while reading this novel. Every minute detail, every millisecond of thought was spoon-fed to me. For example, on page 170, Tris describes how she feels and says, "Once I'm dressed and the urge to cry is gone, I feel something hot and violent writhing in my stomach. I want to hurt them." Could Roth really not come up with something better than "I want to hurt them," to say? Really? I flipped to a completely arbitrary page to find an example and that was the very  first page I flipped to... Maybe some people would like this brain baby food. I dunno. I'm not omniscient or anything... Anywho, this novel was great for lazy day reading, but horrendous for thought provoking.
