I have been waiting to read this book for ages and it didn't disappoint one bit. However it has been awhile since I read Divergent and although I knew who most of the people were, I thought Uriah was like Peter and got confused with who some other characters were. However once getting over this small hurdle. I was soon completely engrossed with this book.

I also like how there was more involvement from all factions as it helped create a larger picture of how people work in this book and how socie I have been waiting to read this book for ages and it didn't disappoint one bit.

After Tris shot Will in Divergent I was in some ways dreading and in others looking forward to Tris reuniting with Christina. In my opinion Christina is a great character and it was apparent that her reaction to this event would be crucial. I wasn't really sure what to expect, obviously she would not forgive Tris straight away and with her sister Cara around her opinions may have been altered slightly. (view spoiler).

I literally can't wait for Allegiant. This is a great sequel and if you have read Divergent you have to read this one or you will regret it. And it you haven't read Divergent then read Divergent. ...more

Unfortunately, this book wasn't as interesting as the first one and I was dissapointed.
Oh well, I think it depends on the person reading it but I don't think so. ...more
