If that extra minute matters...

I'm definitely going to read Veronica Roth's Allegiant, but I'm not invested enough to go out at midnight on October 22 to pick up a copy. (In contrast, if Rick Riordan's The House of Hades had been available at midnight, I would have been there with bells on.) However, more hardcore Roth fans can now get a teeny-tiny head start on the story: at 11:59 p.m. on October 21, the Divergent web site will broadcast a video of Roth reading the first chapter of the final book, giving fans something to listen to as they wait in line to pick up their copy of Allegiant.
