NOT WORTH MONEY!

Would you listen to The Transfer: A Divergent Story again? Why?

Yes because they story was interesting and it was cool seeing how Tobias thinks and why he chose dauntless.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tobias, he's basically the only character..

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Aaron Stanford?

MOST DEFINITELY.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it's short enough to do so.

Any additional comments?

Great story but not worth the money. Too short to be worth $8 or a $15 credit.

My name is Four

I love what I have hear of this story from the prospective of Four. After divergent I'm not a big fan of Aaron Stanford as Four, that is why I didn't give this book five stars. Good story just not a fan of the narrator.

Light Bulb Moments

Four The Transfer gave me a few light bulb moments as it gives great insight into the character Tobias Eaton and answers the question, why Four? The story also introduces other characters whose influence on Four's path now makes sense. Also, the first seed of why Four is special and why his life was on the proverbial collision course with Trice is planted. Let the watering begin.

I also had a light bulb moment when the character of Eric was introduced. His background did help me to understand why he is the way he is. However, I still dislike him and I like him even less as an initiate, and this series is just starting! Note that just as you start to feel a little compassion for Eric, he says something that reminds you that he is a jackass.

DECEIVED!

I thought I was buying the whole book, but instead I just got a short taste of the first chapter. This is the first time I have been really disappointed by Audible. Very very unhappy!!

LOVED IT !!!

I was waiting for this short story for over a month cuz i am a HUGE fan of the Divergent series, and finally its here. I ADORED this short story by Veronica Roth it was fantastic hearing it as Four's perspective. The beginning of Divergent we hear of Tris's POV, but now its Four's and we get to see how his life was and his struggles with his father. I don't want to spoil it to u just trust me if u loved the book Divergent, you will DEFINITELY love The Transfer as well. Please buy it now and listen to it its just an hour long. I can't wait till the other three short stories comes out !!!

Too Brief

I know it's intended to give you a glimpse / foundation into Fours background, but I would be interested in going further.

Such a tease

Please find this complete review and all my others at audiobookreviewer dot com

In a sentence The Transfer: A Divergent Story is more or less the origin story of Tobias er "Four", you know the "heart-throb" from the main books. His hatred for the Abnegation his fathers faction and how he came to and his initiation to the Dauntless. Pretty hard to write a lot about this novella, but it you are a fan of the series you will find it interesting, but definitely not necessary to enjoy the main books in the series. Will I get the other 3 soon to be released novellas? Undecided at the moment.
