:(((((

Maya Angelou, is dead. I had just known today, but i recall it happened  about 3-4 days ago I think? One of the greatest (In my opinion) writer that i've seen,even though Ive only read one of her books, she still got me. The book I read, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" swells with real life issues, detail, a few laughs, and just some things I can really relate to when she describes the life of little
Marguerite and her family.  Condolences and my prayers to Maya's family. Though I wasn't around when she became famous, I've recognized all that she's done, and how she inspired so many people.

Allegiant

As I said before, I did read Allegiant a little under a month ago. I'd like to express my (probably unpopular) opinions about Allegiant.
Here goes the unpopular opinion number one. Allegiant was the worst book in the series to me. It really was. It was ok, barely ok. It seemed to me that it was very anti-climatic, and kinda boring and sluggish. They spent 95% of the book in a lab, everyone feeling lame because they are GD(genetically damaged), Tris (for once) trying people to not feel bad because Tris is the only GP(genetically perfect(which is very rare) ) , Tris and Tobias getting mad at each other and having trust issues, and Tris trying to be cocky and take over the lab place they were in.
I mean don't get me wrong, I really like the series as a whole, but not this individual book respectfully.
Unpopular opinion number two. Tris's death wasn't all that sad to me. First of all because I've had it spoiled way too much, secondly because I rarely get too sad over fictional character  deaths, thirdly Tris isn't really my favorite, and fourthly I think it happened a little too suddenly; I had to reread it to figure out what happened. Some of my favorite chapters happened in Tobias's POV though, I really liked his chapters. How he viewed Caleb, Christina, Tris, Peter and others was really cool too see. I really wanted to see the other characters POV's though.  It kinda upset me the way Tris treated Caleb, but she made up for it when she sacrificed herself for him In the end, even though she died.
