Insurgent by Veronica Roth

adelle_bookworm's review against another edition

Tak pardon, ale tohle fakt ne. Ani Divergence mě kdovíjak nezaujala, brala jsem ji ale jako takový průměr a autorčin začátek. Ale tohle je na mě moc.
Tris je tak neskutečně pitomá! Brácha se zhroutí ze smrti rodičů, ztráty frakce a vlastně všeho, co znal. A co udělá Tris? Neutěší ho, nepomůže mu - ne proto, že by to neuměla, ale z důvodu, že to je slabošství a nemůže se na to dívat, musí odvracet hlavu. Během padesáti stránek na něj ani nepomyslí, ale pak, když ho uvidí, tak je ten nejdůležitější... Příkladný sourozenecký vztah...
Jedinej jakž tak normální je právě Caleb a Čtyřka, ale ten mi taky lezl na nervy. S tou Evelyn, to jako bylo co? To je tak strašně naivní. Tobias a Tris jsou pravděpodobně nejhledanější Divergentní, po kterých Sečtělí pátrají, tak jak je možný, že je ještě nechytli, když se skrývají u jiných frakcí? Pořád mi to nejde na mozek, jak vždycky tak rychle utekli. Schovali se, asi jsou v bezpečí, ale co Tris neudělá? Vletí do náruče nepřátelům a pak se diví, že ji chytili. Místo toho, aby plánovala, co dál, se fakt chová jak pitomec. Tobias to ostatně řekl několikrát, že jsem s ním chtěla dát placáka. Jak ti dva můžou být spolu, to nechápu. Jakmile jí začne něco vyčítat, už je ten nejhorší, ale Tris může dělat, co chce... still better lovestory than Twilight
Celé to je prostě strašně naivní... tohle se vyčítá počátečním autorům, že si postavy povídají, jako by se nic nedělo a je to jasná vycpávka pro děj, i když by si to tyhle postavy takhle rozhodně neřekly... no a hups, toho tady bylo hafo. Chjo, a já se na tu sérii tak těšila.

No jo, rozepsala jsem se víc, než jsem chtěla :D Nikomu to neberu, ale už mě to prostě nechytlo. První díl budu pořád brát potenciálně dobře, ale Rezistence veškerý ten potenciál pohřbila. To jsem teda zvědavá, co řeknu na film.

Unfortunately, most of the time I was reading it, it was right before bed, so I was exhausted, so a lot of the tiny details in the storyline have been lost, but I still have the basic gist. I enjoyed the book, and it was fast paced, but I still didn't feel much of a climax. I really only finished it because I wanted to see how it turned out, not really because it was a real page turner. I would still recommend it because it's part of a series however.

So this story is still following Tris and Tobias as they travel from faction to faction to seek refuge. However, in every faction they find that the Erudite have taken over. In one of the factions, Tris is taken hostage and experimented on to see if they could control her Divergency. She was able to break free. By the end, they decided to team up with the factionless to fight the Erudite. Tris of course decides to do her own thing, and starts on a journey with Tobias' abusive father to uncover the secret information the Erudite are trying to keep from the rest of the city population. In the end, they find out the information, and find out the person giving the information is a one of Tris' family members. It ends there leaving a good opening for a 3rd book.

So overall, not a bad book, and a definite yes to the series.

Meh. The writing is terrible and inconsistent and the story makes little sense. For a more detailed review see what I said about Divergent; there's no change to note whatsoever. I'm going to leave the third book for a later date, if I even get around to it at all, as I'm utterly bored and in need of some good literature.

It was much better then Divergent, and Now I can't wait untill Alleigant (i think) comes out. The ending was perfect! Roth is the next Collins to be honesy.

Amazing sequel. Takes the heart-wrenching from the end of Divergent and just keeps on going. I heard there were inconsistencies and hoped they wouldn't stand out, but there were several glaring moments. Regardless, I loved every second.
