Allegiant {Book to Movie}

Book to Movie

So I watched the trailer and the other side of the wall does not look how I remember reading it. This makes me think that the screenwriters have taken some liberties in changing a few things. So it looks like this third book will be split into two movies but the forth movie will be called Divergent Series: Ascendant. Let's cross our fingers that they change the ending because that ending totally sucked.
This movie comes out March 18th!

One of our Delicious Reads members had the opportunity to meet Veronica Roth in 2012 who signed her books! Our member said that Veronica was very sweet, kind and  really seemed to love her fans. At this time the movie was in it's earliest stages but she was excited that the movie was happening for sure.

I want to hear all your reviews on the movie in the comments. I will post my review in the comments area also. Cross your fingers that they did a good job with this one.

"Divergent" {by Veronica Roth} Book Review

(source)
Divergent

Author: Veronica Roth

# of Pages: 487

Year Published: 2011

Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books

Genre: Young Adult Dystopian


Summary: 
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.



First, let's talk about what we overall rated the book (out of 5 stars):

"Divergent" {by Veronica Roth} Couples Book Club Ideas

AUGUST COUPLES BOOK CLUB:

For this month's book we picked Veronica Roth's new dystopian book, "Divergent" which is an action packed page turner from start to finish. (At least, that's what I thought about it but I'm excited to see our official book club review of the book will say!)
Having the guys join our meeting this month made for some really interesting discussions and I think most of us walked away feeling like we really got into the "nitty gritty" of Roth's writing and the world of Divergent.
