Insurgent (Divergent #2)

I found this book really great! It had everything from action to sacrifice and drama. I loved how Tris's character has developed and how brave she was when she was willing to sacrifice herself. There were countless times that Tris put herself in danger for the greater good and that's what makes Tris different from other characters. There was also more of Tris and Four which was awesome and also more about the other factions like Amity and Candor. Veronica Roth really knows how to take her readers on a journey that is unpredictable and unforgettable. As in Divergent, Insurgent was hard to put down an in no way a disappointment! I would recommend Insurgent to those who loved Divergent!

I can't even right now. Oh my gosh. This was so awesome! Good gah at the suspense! It's like I was on a roller coaster and it was just building, going up, up, up. I thought I was going to explode and/or have a heart attack! It's kinda funny because I was just going on and on reading and thinking "I can't take much more! I can't take it!"
What'd I do? ... Kept reading! Haha!
I have so many mixed emotions though because this showed a whole new side of Tris, and honestly, I didn't like it. It made me so angry at her. I mean, helllooooo you have this great guy who really cares for you. Why keep things secret? She was just keeping everything from him and I really didn't understand why. Was it because of where she came from or what? Scared he wouldn't love her the same? I have no idea. I think if it was in front of my face (which I'm sure it was) I still wouldn't get it. Oh well. Amazing awesome hella epic book anyway!
There were so many things that happened that just sideswiped me. I'm still kinda reeling after this book. I think it'll take me a while to actually get over what just happened.
That ending though!
A cliffhanger! REALLY?! That is NOT fair!
I have GOT to get my hands on the next book before I go insane.

I had really high expectations for this book perhaps to high but I did enjoy all the twists and turns I kept needing to find out what happened next but the story did start to bore me after awhile. All in all it was a good book and very action packed with the read if you liked divergent.

"If you tell me not to, I will."
"Well...me too!"
-Basically Tris and Four."

Yes. Their relationship drama gets the best of this book.

But the action is even better.

Most of it made me mad, some of it made me sad, and the rest of it was awesome.

It was great and now I'm ready for the next.

I wanted to read Insurgent so bad after finishing with Divergent. Roth did not disappoint with the sequel. Well-written. I love that Insurgent begins right were Divergent left off. I definitely love this book with the action and turns and twist. The characters were more developed making it a much interesting story. The introduction to new characters( Erudite members) was so interesting. The ending left me wanting more, come on, a secrets revealed at the final half of the book, then the final secret was amazing, just Wow. Love it, Veronica Roth really knows how to leave the reader wanting more. Allegiant were I come. 5 can get enough of Four Stars.

Where to begin with one of my favorite books of all time, Insurgent... Insurgent is mainly about Tris and Tobias on their quest to rally up allies for the upcoming clan war with the Erudites. It expands upon Tris's life in the Dauntless faction and her boyfriend Tobias trying to stop the evil Euridites from controlling the groups through a mind-controlling program. When most of the factions do not believe them they turn away and try to get their forces back in Dauntless prepared. Soon enough most of the factions are under the Erudite's control and it is very difficult for the Dauntless members to raid the faction. When the members are faced in a tough situation many of the Dauntless are also under their control. It was all up to Tris, Tobias, and a select few to save Chicago from a disaster. Who knows what the Erudites will do once they are finished? World domination? When Tris discovers the main producer of the system is someone close to her she must decide what to do. Soon enough the relative makes the decision for her. She ends up trapped with Tobias watching as her mind gets probed. Then a miracle happens. The relative took the theme of the book, One decision can destroy you, seriously. So what will happen next? It is up to you to figure out....

Insurgent is probably one of the best sequels ever made. It covers the characters and sticks to its topic. Although it is an amazing sequel, it is not as good as Divergent. When I first picked it up I knew I would finish it only in a matter of time. I had received both Divergent and Insurgent at the same time so right after I read Book 1 I could not wait to get my hands on Book 2. I was so involved my mom had to take it way from me every night so that I could get some sleep! Once you start reading Insurgent you will never want it to end. It is a wonderful story!With all these guidelines for success it is no wonder why Insurgent is a New York Times #1 Bestseller! I can not wait to get the third book in the series, Allegiance.

This was a great book by Veronica Roth! She did a wonderful job with writing, and everything. I can't wait for the 3rd book in the trilogy.

So... I had already forgotten stuff, and this one picks right up where Divergent left off, so it took me a few pages to get back into the story and slowly remember little details. LOL. At first I was like who IS Tobias, then I was like DUH. I was just used to him being called Four.
Tris was a wild card in this one though. I know its guilt, fear, and the different factions warring in her head, but at times I liked her and others I wished I could smack some sense into her. She takes risks without thinking about the gain and sometimes that puts those she loves in more danger because of it. But she is still strong, and loyal. Everything she does, she does it out of love, loyalty and her view of the greater good. It is just hard though when she is taking those risks and being self sacrificing because you know that it won't go down a good road.
It was hard reading about Four and Tris in this one though. They had moments where they seemed to really belong together and then the next second they are lying to each other and constantly hiding things. So I am torn because I overall really like Four and he is a bright spot for me, and I know I can't expect anyone to be perfect especially in a world that is so torn, but there are some moments where I didn't like that side of him that I saw. On the other hand, there were some very hot moments between them then more that were so sweet, so I hope we are just seeing both of the characters grow and change and that they will come out the other side.
There is some really dark stuff in this book, and more characters don't make it until the end. So it is very emotional and Tris hardly ever gets a moment reprieve.
And, oh holy traitor. I can't say much obviously without spoiling but I COULD NOT believe it. I could've strangled him. There were some that I expected, but this one. NO.
I loved learning and seeing more of the factions in their day to day and also how they respond when faced with violence and when it is time to make a stand for what it right.
The ending sent me for a loop and I can't wait for the next book.
Bottom Line: 2nd in a series that connected me more with the characters and left me wanting more.

"My conclusion," she explains, "is that you display equal aptitude for Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. People who get this kind of result are..." She looks over her shoulder like she expects someone to appear behind her. "... are called... Divergent."

Insurgent is a science fiction novel. If you liked The Hunger Games, you will love Insurgent. I suggest that you read Divergent, the first one in the series, first though. They are both written by Veronica Roth. She writes these books in a way so that you can feel the emotions that the characters feel, like embarrassment and sorrow. Divergent is about five factions, or groups, that inhabit a city. The purpose of these factions is to prevent wars and other conflict. When a child turns sixteen they can make the choice to stay in their current faction or move to a different one. The five factions are Amity (The Peaceful), Abnegation (The Selfless), Candor (The Honest), Erudite (The Brilliant), and Dauntless (The Brave). The main character, Beatrice, lives in Abnegation and she will make a decision that will surprise everybody, even herself. Without giving too much away, there is a war that affects every faction in one way or another. The second book is all about the after effects of that war. So go out today, and get copies of these mind blowing books!

Roth's second installment is a thrilling sequel to an eye catching beginning. Roth's style has definitely improved in this book and I read it from cover to cover in one day. Tris has gone through a lot, losing her parents and Will's death especially effect her attitude. Most of the book I was pretty annoyed with her to be honest, but in a good "i need to keep reading to see if she gets over this" kind of way. Four's character I love in so many ways, his persistence, his protectiveness over Tris, the way he understands her. Again Roth keeps us on our toes, never really revealing everything until the very last second, and then blowing us out of our seats with surprises. I am anxiously awaiting the final installment in this series.
