Word Scribbler Reading Challenge - Week 24 - A book everyone has read but you

It's week 24 of my 52 book reading challenge (1 book per week for a year). This week is:

24. A book everyone has read but you. 

The book that I'm reading this week is the final book in the Divergent trilogy. I love books 1 and 2 and the world that Veronica Roth has created. Most of my friends and twitter timeline read this final book the instant it was released. I've been reading the books along with the films. I enjoy the films more not knowing what's going to happen 2 films ahead. But this book was controversial/shocking to many and major spoilers were posted online. Many fans were not happy at all with how this book series ended. Less than 2 weeks after the book was released I unavoidably read a rant from a fan. Many people still hadn't read it or finished reading. It still annoys me that I found out this way. With so many 'omg' reactions I was about to concede and buy/read the book as soon as I could. Instead, I still haven't read it. 

I still only know what happens to who, not how or when. As a writer myself, I think Veronica Roth is a brave author to write this book and this ending to the series. The fan uproar was predictable. At the time I was shocked but not upset or feeling cheated like some fans. Re-reading Divergent and then reading Insurgent already knowing this major spoiler has made me hyper aware of the foreshadowing and this ending now to me is the only one that makes sense. Anything else wouldn't be true to the character. 

I watched the second film Insurgent without seeing many film set photos and avoiding most press interviews. I only read the book the week before the film was released. The film version of the third book Allegiant is being filmed right now. Once I've read this book I'll be able to join in discussions and look at set photos :)

Book blurb - Allegiant by Veronica Roth.

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered - fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningliess. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend to complexities of human nature - and of herself - while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, ALLEGIANT, by #1 New York Timesbest-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the DIVERGENT series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in DIVERGENT and INSURGENT.
