One minor plot quibble aside, this was a really satisfying middle book to this trilogy. Nicely built off the first one, good twists (that were not so shocking as to make me think they were unfounded), and great setup for the third, which I already understand has folks really split on the course it takes. I remain intrigued enough that this series might be read right after the new year.
You know, for a book that's "just another YA fad," Roth's world makes me think deeply about our own. What are the causes of human suffering in the world? Each faction's hypothesis seems plausible.

I give it four out of five stars. Would recommend for people who like to read books that are thought-inducing and fun. ...more

Seriously Veronica Roth, learn a word other than "breaths" and a phrase other than "my vision went black at the edges" and then maybe I'll take you a little more seriously. This book was about as poorly written and far-fetched as the first one, but they both kept my interest, so I guess that's something.

A remarkable sequel. Absolutely worth the read. It doesn't feel like a retelling of the original book, as Roth takes us into new places and adds new conflicts to the story.

I can't wait for Allegiant! I didn't think I was going to like another series as much as Hunger Games, but this one is a contender...

Definitely suffered from middle book syndrome, but I loved the first one and still want to know how things will work out.
Fun audiobook to listen to with my tweens and teens. Kept everyone interested on our road trip.
