I had to go to this audiobook immediately after finished Divergent (even drove a few miles to get it) I think the second book in a series often suffers a bit in esteem because the first has the advantage of setting up an imaginative premise. Some scenes were so spell-binding, the truth serum and Tris's surprise nemesis as she must navigate across the room in particular. Tris's realization that there are good and bad aspects to each faction can be extended to many different personalities. It woul

Ah! The rare sequel that doesn't go far off into left field! I'm completely smitten by Roth's world (not that I'd want to live in it) and as she reveals new puzzle pieces, I'm intrigued by how they'll all fit into place. Oftentimes it seems sequels go to a place that the first book never foreshadowed (such as in Crossed) and I'm tired of that. I like feeling as if I pretty much understand what's going on, I just don't yet see how it's all going to fit together in the final book.

“Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.”
At the start of the second installment in Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy, I was like Tris: unsure of where the story would take me. Insurgent, while mostly focused on the continuing chasm between factions, and hiding out and making plans between attacks and curve-balls, uncovers layers of sophistication tucked between these tension points—weighing guilt against grief, choosing bravery over giving up, and pursuing answers to que ...more

In the second book of the Divergent trilogy, Tris and Four continue on their quest to stop the evil Jeanine and her Erudite lackeys. The book is full of plot twists, confusing moments of "Is this a simulation still?", and mind games meant to outwit the clever Erudite faction. Initially, this book seemed more of an in-between book with outrageous plot twists that seemed to be building action between Divergent and Allegiant. However, by the time I finished, I really did applaud Veronica Roth. The

Book 2 of 3 which continues the storyof a Hunger Games-ish dystopian society set in Chicago where people are divided into factions based on traits (candor, erudite, dauntless, etc.). Children grown up in one faction, but at 16, are tested to see which faction they should join permanently. Well-written, I enjoyed it and can't wait for the final one!
