Through the course of listening to the two books in this series on e-audiobook while simultaneously reading two other print books, I've learned that's not something I can do well. In fact, I think listening to fiction audiobooks is tough for my mind, that wanders too easily, losing track of the characters and the story. I will stick with non-fiction audiobooks for a while, and also not read more than two fictions titles at a time. I say all that because I probably missed 15% or so of what happens in this book, and that likely affected my review. I'll be reading the ebook of Allegiant, and hope that changes things. 
 Tris started to get whiny for me. Her angst over Tobias annoyed me, and I strongly disliked the several mentions of what specific shade of blue his eyes are. Bleh. Would I have oohed and ahhed over this as a teen girl? I sure hope not. Then again, I was busy reading Flowers in the Attic, so maybe I should lay off the YA judging a bit. 
 Moving a storyline along, such as in this middle-in-a-trilogy title also appeals to me less than laying the groundwork of the struggle and exploring the factions and all those simulations that happened in Divergent. 
 Still, I'm sucked in enough to happily want to finish the series, and watch the movies. What happens in the last part is what really got me, and while some might not like how this one ended, it improved things for me. Bring on Allegiant!
