Omg! This book was everything! I think I hoped so much for the character’s to achieve their goals that I felt I was in the story! There were times where I was just so sad for Tris that I couldn’t move. There were also times where I felt pure joy and this book brought the best of me into the real world! This book really makes you feel for this characters! This is a must read!

I had the feeling I wouldn't like the second book as much as the first one because the most fun part (the training) was completed. And I was right. But I still liked the plot a lot. It didn't drag at all, so much was happening. Sometimes maybe a little too much, too fast. But I really liked how you discovered the different fractions in ... different ways. I especially loved the more sciency, logical part and Tris' curiosity. Liked the twists, the predictable and the surprising ones. And the ending really made me curious for the third book. But I was soooooo disappointed in Tris and Four and too annoyed too often. At least Tris' development was undestandable for the most part. But Four was so different from book 1. He felt like a totally different character. And this really had a huge impact on my overall enjoyment of the book.
