Divergent #2
In some series, one or more novels can function as a stand-alone. Sometimes that’s because enough backstory is added, sometimes it’s due to that particular series entry taking a different turn (focusing on different characters, settings, or plot threads). In this case, that’s not so: “Insurgent” leaps in immediately where “Divergent” stopped-and I recommend, if you haven’t read the excellent “Divergent” first, do so before reading “Insurgent.” It’s only been four months since I read ...more

Liked it. Curious to see where the 3rd book goes.
I actually liked this book better than Divergent, which seems to be an unpopular opinion. I thought this book was faster paced and I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Tobias and Beatrice.
Disappointing. Tris became extremely annoying. Then, the secret that can't be explained is revealed. It could've easily been explained, which ruins so much of the book. 2.5
