Allegiant (Divergent, #3)

Mid-book review cos I'm struggling to finish this. So far Katy Perry does a good job summing this book up:
"You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes.
Yeah, you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
And you over think
Always speak
Critically
I should know
That you're no good for me
[Chorus:]
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really wanna stay, no
(you) But you don't really wanna go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down"
Update May 2013: The cover's actually good, though I have to admit, some of the fan made covers were gorgeous. I'm not too sure about the water symbol. I was hoping they had all 5 symbols and had them crashing together to create a new symbol. Y'know new world, new symbol??
Update Apr 2013: Allegiant?? Really? Did they mean Allergen[t]? Y'know, the factionless' quest to rid themselves of fleas permanently. Grab your nets and bugs spray! I can't say that I like being wrong but still looking forward to how things end.
Hmmm...all the possible titles:
-Option 1: Emergent (view spoiler)
-Option 2: Resurgent (view spoiler)
-Option 3: Convergent (view spoiler)
-Option 4: Indulgent (view spoiler)
-Option 5: By popular demand, we have Detergent. After 2 books of nothing but blood, sweat and tears, these people are filthy I tell you! They need all the help they can get to remove all those tough stains. Blood can seriously be a bitch to clean!

"Ah I can't stand it when books simply carry on from the previous book like we haven't been waiting for over a year for it to be released. Can anyone refresh my memory? I remember Tris' grandmother and the video but that's about it. Tris worked with Tobias' father??"

"“I thought I would leave that to you,” I say. “Since you’re the better liar.” I know as I’m saying the words that they hit a sore spot in both of us. She lied to me so many times.
I can already tell which way this book is going to go. I sincerely hope that's not the case though."

"The Allegiant want to leave the city: “Because they’re allied with the original purpose of our city, see?”
BUT also they want to live in factions - "Allegiant claim that we’re meant to be in factions because we’ve been in them since the beginning.”
I'm so confused! The Allegiant's manifesto is flawed. You can't leave the city and also continue to live in factions. It's an either/or situation."

"I was right! This book should have been called Indulgent, given the amount Tobias and Tris spend snogging each other."

""he doesn’t care if I’m all right, doesn’t care if he’s all right, doesn’t care. We haven’t been alone together in days. Weeks. Months."
Welcome to the Tris and Tobias' show. Next stop - angst and more angst. GAH! It's only been like 3 days."

""He is stronger than anyone I know, and warmer than anyone else realizes; he is a secret that I have kept, and will keep, for the rest of my life...I know exactly what I want; I want to peel away all the layers of clothing between us, strip away everything that separates us, the past and the present and the future.
Oh come on! Let's just call this Indulgent and be done with it."

"The Allegiant claim that we’re meant to be in factions because we’ve been in them since the beginning." Yet, rather than stay and fight the factionless to bring back the factions, they want to leave the city.
Oh god, this is so ridiculously flawed it's actually laughable!"

""He smells like wind..."
Honestly, WTF is that? It has been mentioned sooooo many times now that I'm honestly curious what wind smells like!"

i'm so glad i wasn't the only one doing this in my head.but you forgot detergent (SOAP BUBBLES! AND OPPRESSION OF LAUNDRY SERVICES!)
:D
I predict a bubble-ball fight. You know, the fizzy balls you put in your bathtub.

Thank you for the suggestion, it's been added :).
I'm voting for #1! It seems the most plausible honestly. #3 could work too though. I definitely don't want #s 2 & 4 although I wouldn't really mind if #5 was chosen ;)
Lol..I'd love if it was Indulgent..I think I might even be tempted to buy it if Four and Tris just indulge each other with lovin for the entire book.

Lmfao! #4 Tris and Tobias "get it on" I just died. They really do need to just get it over with.
I hope its not Detergent because the books arent really meant to be funny and thats a funny name.I vote for Convergent because tge book names already sound similar, Divergent and Insurgent,
so why not add Congergent to the group? Wouldnt it sound good??? Just think...
BOOK 1: Divergent!
BOOK 2: Insurgent!
BOOK 3: CONVERGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just think that the name fits right in!
GO #1GO #1
GO #1
NUMBER ONE ALLLLLLL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!
Haha I say #1, but #4 sounds fun too. As long as it isnt Detergent. I don't think I would be able to get over that.
Number 4 all the way. Indulgent. haha. Can't wait!actually, my best guess is the book will be like number 1. I guess we'll have to wait and see. The agony!
Just because of how the last book ended it has to be #1 otherwise I won't read it.
detergent????? ahahahhaha...
I think it'll be either one or three, and I'm leaning towards three. Detergent. Myou just made my day ;p
Emergent sounds good to me, but I have to say "detergent"?!! Ha ha,totally killed me XD
hahaha i think i like convergent the best but INDULGENT IS GOOOOOOD!
It will probably be called Belligerent because she mentions it in insurgent (Belligerent: Belonging to or recognized as a state at war and protected by and subject of laws of war.)
ooooh i never thought of that! that's a good one!
I think Convergent sounds the best.. And it fits too. Because convergent is the opposite of divergent. Tag line: one choice can restore you
That looks amazing, Erudite symbol?
mhmm! i wonder if that will be the cover... it looks really good, and pretty legit!
It would so cool if it was. It looks so pretty!
Kaylah wrote: "yah i think it does sound good... have you seen this?? http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201..."Ooh that look amazing. I think it is the Erudite symbol. But for some reason, I don't think they will have just one symbol since they're trying to abolish all the factions. Maybe they'll have all 5 symbols and have them crashing together to create a new symbol. New world, new symbol??
hmm... i never thought of that! That's not a bad idea!
Preferably, #3. Convergent. Emergent would be okay... I guess... but it puts me in mind of an ambulance. Resurgent makes it sound like it's going to be a re-telling of Insurgent, which I sincerely hope it will not be. :)
haha yah that would suck. I know its like "emergen-cy"
#1 and #3 are the best.
Definitely #5 :P I do think it will probably by #3 though considering in Earth Scienes there are Divergent Boundaries, there's something that's Insurgent (can't really remember what), so it would make sense if the last was named Convergent, after the Convergent Boundaries :P
I like Indulgent and absolutely LOVE the thing under the spoiler!!! LOL
Haha I love detergent smells like flowers hehe
DETERGENT No contest! :)
Changed my mind... Emergent looks like emerald so I like it
DETERGENT!!!!!!! or emergent, BUT I REALLY WANT IT TO BE DETERGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
DETERGENT!
DETERGENT!
DETERGENT!!!
DETERGENT!
DETERGENT!
DETERGENT!!!
I think it will be Emergent.
I think number 1 or 2 but i wouldn't mind #5( I just read the first two books in 3 days!
I couldn't put it down- I felt like an addict ;D)
haha detergent for sure!! xD
I think it should be emergent or convergent ! :)
Louise wrote: "I think it should be emergent or convergent ! :)"same. Those are both my favourite.
LOL definitely Detergent!! :)Convergent would be a serious choice though.
1 and 3, definetly :) LOVE Convergent - sounds great!
I'm gonna go with One!
