The book was another great read but less than the first volume.
This quasi post-apocalyptic series is not quite as clever as Hunger Games or Uglies or even Shattered, but it still holds my attention and for the intended YA audience I think it succeeds. I did want to slap Beatrice or pull her hair quite a few times because I think much of the conflict could have been avoided if she was more trusting but I guess that's one of the messages that Roth is sending to her readers and maybe that is a life-lesson to learn the hard way. It's certainly not one of my fav

This was a good sequel. It gave me more insight to some of the factions which I was eager to learn about. Tris also left behind some of her annoying qualities, but not all of them. This one really leaves an open ending, you'll want to have the next book ready if you are not one for waiting. Even though a lot more people overall died in the first book, this seemed to have more death, if that makes sense. Maybe it just seems that way because the last book ended with the death and this book really

Again, not sure why I liked it.
The plot makes no sense, the girl was starting to really annoy me, and although I read the first book, Divergent a few weeks ago I couldn't remember half the characters.
The relationship part was also annoying how they were constantly hurt/angry with each other.
But I still liked it. Maybe I was being hormonal today because I even teared up in some places.
Obviously this isn't Shakespeare or anything but I thought it was fun. ...more

After reading Divergent, I was not really looking forward to continuing the trilogy. I devoured the first book, up until the last few chapters, where it just...lost my interest. Hence my hesitation in continuing the series. But I am SO GLAD that I made myself read this book! I'm very pleased with the development of the storyline. The characters are still a little flat, a little chiche, but the story is moving along nicely. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Am looking forward to the last one, some parts were really silly, like I new what was going to happen before, I mean like a ridiculously foreshadowed. But other parts (particularly the end) I did not see coming and completely enjoyed.
