Review: Marketing Pamphlet - Only for Free AND only for Fanatics
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 9, 2013
This is hype that has obviously only been released to poke readers that the third "real" book is due to release in a few weeks.  If I had paid for it, I would have really been angry.  I will read the last book in the series, but only because I am obsessive like that and generally finish even boring commercials with a story to see how they end.  I am really amazed that Amazon and other e-book vendors allow such things to even be classified as a publication for download from their site.  If anything its proper place should have been the author or publisher's website.Why I gave it two stars instead of the minimum 1...Because it was free and because I'm sure the Insurgent fanatics out there will gobble up every morsel in this document (note it is NOT a short story or novella).  There is a discussion of the author's opinion regarding Utopian vs. Dystopian, how the author chose to name each faction, a multiple choice quiz to determine what faction you would match, and manifestos for each faction.Ah, and as for a "preview" of the next release?  Ha!  You get some "never-before-seen quotes" from Allegiant.  Big Whoop!  How insulting to her readers that paid for the other books in her trilogy.  There is a notation on the cover "Featuring a first look at Allegiant" which consists of 8 quotes on artwork backgrounds as the "first look".  Brings to mind the saying always read the fine print.  Normally I have found a "first look" is a chapter or two or three or a significant number of pages in the case of long chapters, but that is only because I've never before run across about 16-24 sentences being classified as a "first look".  I get more from looking at the back cover or flaps of books.So I leave this one to the fanatics only.  Now that I'm looking over it again, it is not even worth the minuscule space it takes on my kindle as a freebie.Format: FREE eBook
