What I like about it is that Veronica Roth had done her research and even though it had a lot of scientific terminologies, it was easy to understand."<br /><br />This is sarcasm, right? First of all, not a single part of the "explanation" made any sense in the context of the story and worldbuilding of the first two books - which is to be expected when an author waits until AFTER they have written the first two books to figure out the reasoning behind the premise and then tries to back the story into it. FYI, that does not work. Secondly, I'm not a scientist by profession or anything but I know a great deal about genetics and biology and learned quite a bit in my collegiate education. And because I do know and understand a great deal about genetics, I can assure you that Veronica Roth knows NOTHING about genetics and did NOT do proper research on the ideas she presents in her retconned backstory. Every single facet about this "experiment" is completely nonsensical and illogical and in actuality would produce the exact opposite result that the story purports. It was a colossal failure of common sense.LiveToBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997161677471183910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831958141613724622.post-18345314699342298232014-01-31T05:03:52.318-05:002014-01-31T05:03:52.318-05:00I'm really happy you loved it!

And I liked Insurgent most of all. :) <br /><br />http://www.judegerona.blogspot.com :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950242624643883329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831958141613724622.post-68613735451623028572014-01-31T04:59:34.827-05:002014-01-31T04:59:34.827-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950242624643883329noreply@blogger.com
