Insurgent by Veronica Roth
3.0
RATING: 3 1/2 STARS!!!!!
SYNOPSIS:
Insurgent picks up on where Divergent left off. Everyone now knows, Erudite is trying to eliminate Abnegation and form a new government. Dauntless is now split into two: the loyal and traitors. You no longer know who you can trust, best choice: Don't trust anyone. Soon the loyal Divergent are tossed with the Factionless who are eager to form an alliance and together bring Erudite down. Tris is more than happy to crush every Erudite into pieces until she learns of a piece of information that is so crucial, so life changing: that her parents died for it. Unfortunately the piece of information was given by the man who ruined her boyfriends childhood. Can Tris trust him enough to betray her true love? If this piece of information is truly it can change life as everyone knows it and it will answer the question we've been wondering since the first novel: Why is it so dangerous yet so important to be Divergent?
REVIEW:
I know, I know. It's hard. Divergent was the most amazing book I've ever read so Roth had a lot to live up to. Unfortunately Insurgent didn't live nearly up to its companion. While we have the same characters I found the story a bit more dull and couldn't get as interested in it. There was not as much suspense as surprise as the first novel. You already know where the story is leading to "a fight against Erudite, a fight where the bad guys lose like always". In the first novel you didn't know what to expect from it. You couldn't predict the ending and how things would turn out. The best thing about this book was the ending because it was won of the few suspenseful moments. The end completely turned the book around and sent chills through my body. All in all I wish it could have been better, 3 and a 1/2(!!!) stars!!!
