Should I have any interest in seeing a press screening of Divergent if I'm not planning on reading the book?
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm in the middle of Allegiant, and I wonder if these might not make better movies than books.
Which isn't a definitive answer, but I do think it's a generally interesting story, and the elder portion of the cast should be good.

Four looks hunky. (That's all I got.)
t edit Okay, I just looked at the IMDB page -- Kate Winslet is Jeanine Matthews??? I'm more intrigued now.

Well, I quite liked the first book. The second NSM, and the third I haven't read, given the reviews I've seen. But I'd enjoy seeing the movie, of the first one. Plus it sounds like they got a good cast.

Yeah, not wanting to be Mockingjay'ed, I've already decided not to read any of them.

Hah. I feel like ALL the YAs have this "Must be a trilogy!!" thing going on, and it irks. There are some that would be so much better as stand-alones (...though I get that marketing-wise that's not as worth it), or at most with a sequel.

I would totally see the movie. I suspect it will translate very well to film.

I just read "where'd you go Bernadette", which I can't decide if I liked. Maybe it was just overhyped. It had some cute very seattle things. But the plot was...odd? Confusing? Something.

Wow, you guys weren't kidding about Allegiant. That was terrible.
