Interesting, and unusual but slow....I didn't think the ending was terrible as other's have said. I thought it was leading up to that point anyway.
Not exactly entertaining, but very good acting.

I can't say this story was bad, but it didn't engage me the way the best of them do; that said I had no problem finishing it.

It wasn't a favorite. I mean it wasn't bad but the first few pages were a  little confusing. I adored the ending but it wasn't perfect

I'm sorry but this is my honest opinion, the ending didn't exactly make me go "why didn't I see that coming". It was almost as though I expected everything to happen, which sucks because I enjoy the mystery in fiction novels.

I finished the book, which I wouldn't have done if I hated it - but there was just something about the main character that didn't appeal to me and I couldn't really cheer him on.  This book is hopeful and not terribly violent like some books on the subject of survival after an world changing event, but the characters are naive and unlikely to survive in a more realistic situation.  Overall 4 stars, not bad reading.

Not every story can have a happy ending I suppose but some of my favorites don't have a Cookie cutter ending. It's a fit ending even though it is not the one I hoped for. After I take my antidepressant I should be ok. Kidding. Not really.

Unfortunately I didn't think it was as good as the first two. But still not a bad read

This was different from a lot of what's been out lately, which was a very pleasant surprise. As for the ending, I think that's just going to be a matter of opinion. I personally thought it was a daring thing to do, although I thought it was a little over-long. Still, I would definitely recommend this to friends.

I liked the characters and the end is surprising as well as the girl's true motives.  I didn't like it as much as dumas club or that book he wrote about chess, but you know; it read well, so I was happy.  And yeah, maybe sometimes it is a bad translation, but this book wasn't as bad as they were making it out to be.

I was not ready for this, but that didn't make it bad book.

This book was fun for what it was, I don't think it serves anyone to be overly critical of this book. however I must admit I have not had the pleasure of reading a chose your own ending book in quite sometime and this hit the spot!

I finished the book the day it came out and as most people I was a tad devastated at the ending. Had I written a review then it probably would have been much angrier and bitter but after processing the book I think I understand why she did what she did, even if I don't like it. That being said, I do agree with other posts that the voices between the two was a tad difficult to capture at time. I did have to double back a couple of times because i forgot who was "talking" but I think the further I got along the less of a problem it became. I loved many parts of the book but there were a few instances where it just felt off, I'm not sure how to describe but it just felt different than the first two, especially at the beginning. Overall I think the book is very good, I didn't love it like I loved the previous two book but I think now I would probably go back and reread it at a slower pace to really get into it and not rush through maybe it'll feel different. I do think that the constant bashing (and 1 star review) only over the ending is a bit rough, we can't decide how Veronica Roth should write a book only she can, and this was the story she had for the characters.

I enjoyed the book but was not crazy about the ending

Despite what the critics say, I didn't think this was all that good.

It missed 5 stars because I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending.

I agree with the opinions written.  However, I would like to ask what people think of the ending.  What is your opinion of exactly how it ended?  Maybe i lost interest and didn't look closely enough.  thanks

I thought it was a bad romance...but there is a twist that improved the whole story and made you say, Ahhh, now I see.  I am itching to say what it is, but it would be such a spoiler.
At any rate, I probably wouldn't choose another book by this author, but I didn't feel it was as bad as some reviewers (who admitted they didn't finish it) rated it.
