Annie Wonderland Book

Goodreads Rating:  I feel like short e-novellas should have their own rating system, because sure they aren't the complete story but they bring something to the table. This story for example brought a LOT to the table when it comes to hundreds of beating hearts who lovingly wait for any mention of Four in Divergent. Free Four is a short re telling of Divergent through Four's eyes, and not just on any part but the knife throwing scene!! Let's just say it's incredibly nice to be inside Four's head at a time when you didn't know what the hell was going on through those parts. The e-novella is less than 15 pages, sad to say, but it will be a nice fix for those who have just finished Insurgent, or even Divergent, and need a bit more. I give this E-novella a 5/5! Getting to look at some things through Four's eyes is amazing, in fact the only thing I am disappointed about is that we don't get the whole NOVEL through Four's eyes. What do you say guys? Let Ve...

  "Egmont Publishing, which put its U.S. division up for sale in October, has announced plans to close the unit . The move, the Danish publisher said in a release, comes after the division failed to establish a "market leading position" in the States, and attempts to sell the unit failed." - Publisher's Weekly Article Egmont USA is throwing in the towel.
