Recently I have started the book “Allegiant” by the author Veronica Roth. This book differs from the other 2 books in the trilogy because it has more than one protagonist that you read as. By this I mean each chapter is a different person that you are reading as. I find this element that she chose very revealing, it brings out the inner thoughts of characters that you had wondered about. At the same time I feel that it makes the story hard to understand due to the fact that the two characters are very different.  This element that she incorporated is very similar to what they do in the book “BZRK”. I did a review on the book “BZRK” and only gave it 3/5 stars.
 This story plot so far is very fluctuating, it can be very mellow and then complete chaos. Personally I like it when a plot fluctuates because it leaves you on the edge of your seat anticipating what’s going to happen next. Also the main character is very bipolar, she is so unpredictable which is why I love her, I think she acts a lot like me.
 The vocabulary in the novel is very straight forward and uses a decent amount of slang. The slang I think just shows how all of the characters are still young and even though they live in a different time they speak similar. On page 77 it says “Learning about factories. I can’t wait” he smirks” This just shows how similar they speak because of the sarcasm he used. So far I think this book is very well written but hard to comprehend the transition between characters.
