I enjoyed the Divergent trilogy, although I didn't love it as much as the Hunger Games trilogy. "Four" is Tobias's introduction to Dauntless life. A little bit of his history, why he chose Dauntless, his introduction to Tris, his feelings.... Veronica Roth originally wanted to write this story with Four as the main character instead of Tris. His voice instead of hers. I like the trilogy as she ended up writing it - with Tris as the main character. (However, I'm not a fan of how the trilogy ended, but that's besides the point.)
As much as I like Four, and this dystopian story, I don't really see the need for this book. Seeing Tobias through Tris' eyes was good enough for me! There really wasn't any new information. It was like visiting an old friend you haven't seen for awhile. A friendly chat, remembering some old times. I guess what I'm saying is that it really didn't add anything to the story, so why not leave the story as is?
Not much else to say about it!
