Review Detail

So I had problems with Divergent, not enough to make me hate the book or even only like it. I liked it a lot I just had problems and confusion. Like world building and over-arching plot and such. I knew when I started reading Insurgent it would either ruin the previous book or make it work and be incredible. I am glad to say that despite many annoyances Insurgent was the latter, it was awesome!

THE ENDING! GAH! That is all I have to say about the book. The ending made it happen. The book was an interesting, quick, and filled with action. But that was it. But the end! Now I need to read the next book. It is required for me to maintain my sanity! I can't wait!

However, despite how much I loved the ending there were a number of things that disappointed me about this sequel. Including but not limited to, the writing. It works for the book but it doesn't particularly appeal to me. It is just average, telling the story. I don't mind it too much but it is something that keeps it from being a favorite. I was also disappointed about how Peter developed. I wrote in my review for the first book how I would be interested in seeing him developed into a good guy, flawed but good. That didn't happen, he was put right back into his hateful character except for one tiny glimpse of goodness. Four also annoyed me in this book, a lot. He was just an annoying idiot to Tris for a majority of the book. There were a few other things but nothing worth mentioning. Just minor flaws and while they detracted from my love for the book they didn't detract enough to bother me.

Also, just thought that this had to be brought out. Tris was fabulous in this book, she was truly suffering for her decisions. I loved her for that. She was an idiot because of that sometimes, but I couldn't fault her for it because she was always written in character. Her stupid choices made sense for that.

Cover – I love it! Much better than Divergent's cover (which kept me from reading the book for a long time)I love Amity's symbol it is beautiful and the colors are gorgeous!
