Starting today, August, 18th 2012. This being the 2nd book in the series I expect it to be good.
Finished it late at night (1:50 am, August 20th 2012).
Great!
My only regret is, that now I have to wait for the third book to be released...

Ok. So it took me a bit longer to finish this book than its previous books. I blame vacation. While I give this book five stars, I definitely enjoyed Divergent more. Insurgent is full of a lot of angst between Tobias and Tris. There is a huge uproar in the Erudite taking control of all the factions. Not to mention Evelyn with the factionless trying to overthrow the Erudite. There was a lot going on here and the ending has left me like, uhhhh what?! I'm just glad I didn't have to wait for the last book like a lot of people had to do. It's a major cliffhanger ending and it is somewhat what I expected the "top secret" information to be. I'll be interested to see how Roth wraps this up!

I still think Tris is stupid and a whiny brat and doesn't deserve Tobias protection.

Hmmm. Action, pacing, character growth are all good. Some of the fragile tensions between Tris and Four are nice, but other arguments of theirs had me scratching my head a little. Some characters disappoint and others reveal a little bit of goodness. I guess I saw it coming, but I am not sure that I like the direction that the bigger picture part of the plot is taking. I think it could go love or hate for me, depending on how it's handled in Allegiant.

In which our heroes (question mark) wander around from headquarters to headquarters, and get injected with an ass ton of drugs, er -checks notes- "serums." 

Also they argue a lot, and instead of talking like human beings and resolving any differences, they just make up by making out a lot more. Because that's totally healthy and not toxic at all, right?
