Four is part of the Divergent Collection, slightly like an extra to the series. As someone who did enjoy the Divergent series, I decided that I would grace myself to buy this book.
As the cover may give away, this book is about Four also known as Tobias. Starting off from his own choosing ceremony, this book tells Tobias's own point of view of what happened during the Divergent series. Even in the books, Tobias is portrayed as a bit of a mysterious figure, especially in the first book. Meanwhile, this book tells all about it's namesake.
Veronica Roth is undoubtedly an excellent writer and has entertained multiple people, teens and adults alike, round the world. I actually love how she could turn her bestselling series and retell it in another character's point of view. In fact, I admire it. It's not easy to rewrite something you've already wrote. In some cases, it may even be harder than to write something completely new again. In order to rewrite it in another characters point of view requires a lot of in depth thinking about the character, as you switch main characters. It shows the connection and understanding Veronica Roth has of her characters, and how much character development and thought she put into them. In no way are either Tris nor Tobias flat characters. They are most definitely round, and come to life on the pages. As someone who highly enjoys character development, I really thoroughly enjoyed this book, seeing the Divergent series through Tobias's eyes again.
I recommend this book to anyone who has read the Divergent series. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you should track down the Divergent series and read it!
***I give this book a 9.5 out of 10***
