veronica roth is so smart. not only is she releasing, in measured intervals, four novellas (four about FOUR!! get it??) that lead right up to the release date for the Divergent movie in march, but she is being smart about how she writes them. i wasn't crazy about Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story, but this one is fantastic. with Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story, she just retold a scene from Divergent from tobias' perspective. which is nice, but since i am too old to be crushing on a (teenage) c...
OH MY GOD, THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!
Sep 03, 2013 (before reading)A fat cow never goes unmilked… and so here it comes the army of overpriced short stories.Kindle Price: $2.06Print Length: 30 pagesSeriously.Oct 26, 2013 (after reading)Just for clarity's sake: on my ADE reader, the ebook was exactly 34 pages long, and the story began on page 4 (Four! Hehe) and ended on page 29, for a net total of 25 pages.I'm not one of those people who think that everything should be free or at least very cheap. And I don't want to squabble over a m...
Damn it, I didn't expected to get so emotional with this novella... I wanted to punch Marcus... ...and then salute Four, for being his kick ass self. So overall...
I loved reading from Tobias' point of view. He was my favourite character! I think he had much more depth than anyone else and if anything, I don't think Roth delved deep enough for my liking.
"My name is Four." I say. "Call me 'Stiff' again and you and I will have a problem." My Reaction before reading this novella:My reaction while reading:Can you freaking believe it??!! Veronica granted Four fans greatest wish EVERYWHERE. It's like Christmas came so EARLY this year! Tobias Eaton is probably one of the most coveted, crushed-on, daydreamed-on male YA character today. His mysterious badass vibe made its first steamy appearance way back 2011 on Divergent. The first novella written i
This was a lot shorter than I imagined, but it definitely gives you the Divergent feels even though plotwise everything has been covered in the previous books. "You’re the one who has to live with your choice." "Everyone else will get over it, move on, no matter what you decide. But you never will." The transfer follows Tobias from the day of his aptitude test and though his Choosing day until the moment he´s given his infamous nickname- Four. It gives you a better understanding of the choice h...
Poor 16 year old Four.
What can I say?! I love Tobias Eaton ! And this book was awesome! Reading another short story on his POV was such a magical experience. Finding more about his relationship with Marcus son of a bitch! I hate him and how was his Choosing Ceremony and how he felt about it. How did he make up his mind about which faction he would choose. And finally how he felt in his first tests in Dauntless and how he got his nicknameFOUR ♥
So coolll
Four is my favorite character in the Divergent series and he is also among my top favorite male YA characters so I was very excited to get my hands on this. This talks about Four before he became Four and this was very emotional. I could actually tell that it was not that same confident Four from the series. This was good and too short.Four stars.
2.5 stars - SpoilersMeh, it was mostly boring. The storyline was decent enough with Tobias wanting to escape his abusive dad, thus transferring to Dauntless, and then jumping off trains and buildings to prove himself, and finally facing his fears in a scientifically nonsensical simulation. I really wasn't impressed with Four's narration — his voice was too dull and predictable, and it ruined the story.I predict that he'll probably fall for a fellow Dauntless initiate in one of his future novella...
This was strangely fun :)
Well...Great opportunity to learn something new about Four. Unfortunately, there's not much. Just Four's badassessness. And even if that's no small thing, I really wished for an awesome revelation or something exciting to happen.That said, it was so refreshing to meet again the Four I fell in love with in Divergent and not that weird teenager I found in Insurgent. It delivered, a nice reminded of who Tobias was and how he became my first book crush. He was tough, strong even when his father was
This was all "Four" and i enjoyed it immensely! 4,5 Stars.It's a great intro to a fascinating world..I haven't read the other books yet, i only saw the movie and read the tie in companion at this point, but i can tell when something is good and interesting..This is a short story but it's so full and whole, it makes you crave more and at the same time it's complete in its own way..Tobias had a hard life because of his father Marcus. He abused him for a long time and now is finally the moment for
It's a fact that Four is my favorite character in the series and reading a bit about his past makes me understand him more. It is not that we find something new, not at all, but it's his voice with his insecurities and hopes and fears. You see two sides of him - the boy he was and the transfer he is now, one that can decide who he wants to be, how the others will see him, accept him, respect him.. and why not, fear him."My name is Four." I say. "Call me 'Stiff' again and you and I will have a pr...
5 Stars for The Transfer: A Divergent Story (audiobook) by Veronica Roth read by Aaron Stanford. This is a short story in the Divergent universe. I really enjoy this series and this prequel is no different. This is the backstory for one of the main characters. A must if you’re a fan.
