Title: Insurgent (Divergent #2)Author: Veronica Roth
Rating: 1/5
Well let me start off by saying that in order to read Insurgent if you haven't read Divergent in awhile you may want to check out 'But I read Divergent a year ago' Guide because this book doesn't recap hardly anything.
This book is around 540 pages but don't let that fool you because it doesn't feel like it at all. I just read Bitterblue another book around 540 pages and each % I read in Bitterblue took a little while because their was an abundance of text on my Kindle, but with Insurgent there are so many large indentations that I think it pushes the book to appear at 540 pages but really is probably much shorter.
With all of that out of the way I loved Divergent and gave it 5 stars, looking back at my notes from when I read it I remember zooming through a lot of the book and then the end fell a little flat for me up until Tris killed Will and both of her parents died, really I probably would've given the book around a 4 but after just having read Good Omens I think Divergent was a delight for me so I rated it a 5 (I've since gone back and taken away a star because I think I was a little too generous). So coming into Insurgent I was very excited, this was also one of my most anticipated books along with Bitterblue and Blackout.
Insurgent starts right where Divergent left off and Tris, Caleb, Tobias, Marcus and Peter are heading towards Amity. Once they get there little happens but here is our first incident where Tris takes it upon herself to spy on people. Amity is attacked and Tris and Tobias escape. This pretty much becomes a reoccurring theme, they go to one Faction something non major happens and Tris eavesdrops on someone else and then they move onto the next Faction. This keeps happening until finally we find out some "Top Secret" information at the very end of the book and it wasn't even enough to save the book.
I can't stand Tris anymore, she's annoying, self-loathing, and selfish. She get's angry at Christina because Christina is angry that Tris killed her boyfriend, because really who wouldn't be angry even if he was taken control of by some evil people. Tobias was just as bad, he's going to beat his dad in front of people to gain respect?
I am not excited at all to continue this series but I'll probably give the last book a chance only because it's the last one but I won't be reading it right away I'll probably wait for some reviews before I dive into another book filled with nothing.
