Insurgent question: I thought I remember reading here that in the book we learn that Amity is drugged. Or is that in Book 3? Because that's not in the movie.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

That's definitely in Insurgent. Tris (and Four?) find(s) out when they go to Amity for refuge. How the hell can the movie leave that out??? That's HUGE.

I just finished reading all three books (book three - why?). There is MUCH in the movie trailers for Insurgent that does not match - not just leaving stuff out but adding things that just....why. I'll still want to see it, but am going in with low book story expectations.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Book 3, why? is the correct response.

I read the Wikipedia summary for Insurgent and it looks like a lot is different, though the plot summary there doesn't mention the Amity thing I asked about. I can be more specific in spoiler font if people want.

Kindle was able to download the April Asimov's, hooray! This makes up for me not having a freezer to put Pocket Apocalypse in.

I have my copy of War and Peace. I ended up going with the Garnett translation.
