Surprise!!!! THREE EXTRA stories on the audiobook!

Would you consider the audio edition of Four to be better than the print version?
I read the book first, then I listened to the audiobook. I was about turn off my phone when I heard, "Keep listening for more..." Really? More? Yes!!!! There were three additional stories that were not in the book!!!!

What did you like best about this story?
In Allegiant, Four's voice wasn't very well developed. While his thoughts were clearly his own, Roth didn't successfully vary her writing to differentiate between Four and Tris. The first of the novellas in the book also suffered from the same lack of differentiation, but the other stories were much more obviously Four's voice. While she still had Four waxing philosophical as Tris did, he had a much more male edge to his voice.

Which scene was your favorite?
I will avoid spoilers...Four's Fear Landscape was by far the best scene.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wish I could have listened to the audiobook in one setting, but the reality of life intervened.

Any additional comments?
Aaron Stanford has captured the essence of Four. He enhanced Roth's writing and really brought it to life. I am frustrated that there were a few scenes from Divergent that I really wanted to hear from Four's perspective that Roth did not include. At the same time, I'm not sure how well those scenes would have transformed into independent story arcs.

very dissatisfied. I wanted a story not this

I expected a story, not a character description which was mostly told in the series. Very few new info regarding Four and may have been a nice addition to the series but wasn't necessary as Four was fully covered. This reminded me of short, informative info normally shown in filling out the character for a story. I thought it was stories involving Four before or after the series. I was wrong and disappointed. I found it boring, repetitive, unnecessary. Not worth the credit I spent on it. Wont make that mistake again with this author or the series.

I Wish More Authors Did This!

I really enjoyed Divergent, so Four was a special treat. And I had a similar revelation that I've had in other series, and that is that it's a shame we were following the wrong hero! Like in Lord of the Rings how Aragorn or Gimli or Legolas was much more interesting than the hobbits, or like James Potter, Lupin, and Sirius were much more interesting than Harry, Hermoine and Ron, I think Four his fellow initiates were more interesting than Tris!

But in any case, a second chance to visit that world, learn some new things and get some new insights, and enjoy the familiar story from a different point of view is pretty neat. I wish more authors gave their fans a similar opportunity!

Skip it

There's not much story here. It's just the bare bones. And he tells you up front that he's not going to dish dirt, which is fine. He just skimmed the surface so you don't feel like you know more than you did when you began.

Really enjoy Four's point of view.

If you could sum up Four in three words, what would they be?

I really enjoy the way Roth has written Four. It is very insightful getting the story from Four's point of view. There are a lot of details that you can guess at from the stories as told by Tris, but this fills in so much more detail. I also really like the character of Four, so I'm glad I got to hear more about him.

What did you like best about this story?

What I liked most was seeing how his relationship with Tris affected him.

What does Aaron Stanford bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Aaron Stanford has a voice that really fits the character of Four. He is easy to listen to.

Left a lot to be desired

Much like the "ending" of the final book this left a lot to be desired. So many opportunities for more depth in certain critical areas of the story but then just a lack luster "ending" that's mostly just vague.

a little disjointed.

the narrator did a good job. i found the story a bit disjointed due to going from one storey to thenext, it would bebetter if their was more clear definition between the short stories.

Adds some depth but some repeat also

It was nice to hear Four's point of view. and sheds light on his actions in the Divergent book. some of it was close to what we knew already. I would no reccommend this if you have not already read th Divergent series, especially book 1
