I really wanted to like this novel, I really did, but sometimes sequels just don’t do anything for me, and that is the case with Insurgent. This entire idea of factions is really intriguing, but I lost interest fairly quickly in this second novel, and I'm thinking I probably won't read the third (I already know what happens thanks to my students). It's just a too long for me, with too many characters, and the plot itself gives me a bit of whi ...more

Smart, thrilling, emotional, exciting, and unpredictable are among the best words to describe Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent.

I liked learning more about the society but I really didn't like Tris or Four that much in the book and think their relationship distracts from the good part of the book

Entertaining enough until the end when I felt like I just watched a soap opera where the entire season was a dream.
Not quite as good as the first installment. Hopefully "Allegiant" will bring the trilogy to an exciting conclusion.

I would venture to say Insurgent was better than Divergent. I live the grittiness, and how unlike other YA dystopians, it doesn't try to be anything but disturbing and utterly difficult. It is what it is: chaos and a great read. ...more
