Reading Menu

I really wanted to be done with the Divergent Series by now... but I'm not.  Between work and illness and such I just haven't been that into.

Also, I think a huge role of it is that the third book is kind of dragging for me.  The first two books had me hook, line and sinker.  I thought about them the moment I woke up thinking that I needed to somehow figure out a way to read in the shower, read while driving, just read while "working".  With this last book, however, I am really struggling. 

I still like the ideas.  The fact that everyone is trying to fit in somewhere is generally the same with real life, we just don't have such specific guidelines.  If I'm in the nerdy clique in school, I can still be an athlete, still be compassionate, and can still be cruel.  With the people in the book it's one thing or the other, you cant be both. 

The first two are written from Tris perspective.  The third one is from both Tris and Tobias.  I am having a hard time following with that because they are both within pages of each other and both in the same situations.  It's like a read a page thinking that I am read through Tris and I get to the next page and realize its been Tobias the whole time.  It's a little over(under)whelming to try to keep up. 

I am halfway through the last book.  We'll see how I like the rest of it...
