From GoodReads

Review: This was an interesting quick read (think 15 minutes) that gave a little more background into Four and why he transferred into Dauntless.  We heard about his issues with his father in Divergent and Insurgent but this gives a first hand view of his father's cruelty.  This short story also gives a little bit of insight into Eric, one of the leaders of Dauntless who I really didn't like.  I was left wanting to read more about Four at the end of this short story and there are other short stories told from Four's perspective.  I read this story because my library had purchased the ebook of it and I was curious.  Don't go out of your way to get it.  It's interesting but not necessary for understanding more about the Divergent series.  I'm having a really hard time rating this because it was really just a chapter from a larger book.

Rating: 3 stars
