In a series of which the first book is very interesting, you are compelled to read the second. You wish it to give you another great story, and insurgent does the same to you.The sequel to Divergent an exciting book, it reveals to you the feelings and the emotions of a teenage girl and her fight, with the enemies in her. This book has a deeper meaning to it which you can only sense, but not understand. I am still left puzzled by that sentence "Fight with the enemy within'. Oh, that just sets up a link f thoughts in your mind. Because it does that I think that it is one of the great reads. It is a war-thrilling, emotional and very well written sequel to a equally interesting sequel. In other words, a must read.

Following the shocking, deadly events at the conclusion of Divergent, Insurgent opens with a devastated Tris as she struggles with the loss of her parents and her guilt over killing her friend, Will, while he was under the influence of a mind-controlling serum. In the attack on the city, using brainwashed Dauntless soldiers as manpower the Erudite gunned down Abnegation members before Tris and her friends could stop the simulation, leading to a mass execution of most of the Abnegation faction. In the aftermath of this devastation, the remaining Dauntless faction has split between traitors that have allied with the Erudite, and outcasts that are systematically being hunted and killed by their former faction-mates. Since thwarting the attack and stopping the power-hungry Erudite before they could sieze complete control of the city, Tris, her boyfriend Tobias (the Dauntless leader formerly know as “Four”), her brother Caleb (an Erudite defector), and a handful of Abnegation survivors have escaped with their lives and have turned to Amity for safehaven. While Tris and her friends find temporary sanctuary amongst the peace-loving faction, their respite is brief as it becomes clear that Amity will not take a stand in the conflict between factions, nor will they seek a fight with the formidable army of Erudite and Dauntless. Forced to leave the neutrality of Amity, Tris, Tobias and others seek out the only other remaining groups for aid – Candor (the honest) and the Factionless. In their quest to find support, Tris and her friends are sorely tested. Friends become enemies. Secret alliances and truths come to light. And even the bond between Tris and Tobias might not be enough to withstand the forces that threaten to tear them apart. So, all cards on the table: I was not as enamored with Insurgent as I was its predecessor. Don’t get me wrong! Insurgent has many of the elements that I loved in Divergent – there’s action, some truly conflicted characters, and great plot twists along the way. By that same token, there is a frustrating amount of repetition, action that doesn’t really amount to much in terms of advancing the actual story, and so much angst/PG sexual tension/overall emo-ness as to detract from the awesomeness of said characters. First, the good. I love that the book begins immediately following the dramatic conclusion of Divergent, with Tris, Tobias and their ragtag group of survivors seeking help and nursing their wounds. As a character, Tris is deeply hurt, not just physically with her shoulder injury, but with the consequences of her actions after killing a good friend – a secret that she guards very closely from Tobias and everyone else. I love that Tris is so conflicted for much of the early part of this book, unable to even touch a gun without recalling the trauma of killing Will, unable to deal with the huge gaping pain of her parents’ deaths. Tris, in turn, locks down and tries to protect herself from future pain, even from the boy she to whom she so desperately needs to open up. I love this about Tris – her resilience, her pigheadedness, her abrasiveness (rooted in the best intentions, of course). At the same time…the pigheadedness and abrasiveness got a little old after a while as her secretiveness and hurt drives a huge wedge into her relationship with Tobias, and serves merely as a mechanism for teen angst. There’s a lot of that in this second book (not nearly so much fun as jumping from buildings, Dauntless initiations, and uncovering secret plots, let me tell you). There’s a lot of Tris and Tobias sharing passionate crushing kisses with…nothing happening afterward. It’s all very PG-friendly, “his hands skimmed my shoulderblades” and “I pressed myself against him urgently, burning and melting” and…that’s it. Theirs is a chaste relationship of passionate kissing, in great traditional romantic YA fashion – the dreaded S-word never enters anyone’s mind, or before it does, Tris and Tobias are back at square one because she’s pushed him away to deal with her angst/he’s pushed her away because he can’t protect her and it’s killing him (gag)/you get the picture, right? I am not a fan of these protracted angsty love stories. It’s comedic, because of the chastity; it’s frustrating, because SO MUCH TIME is spent on these exact. same. exchanges. repeated ad nauseam – meanwhile, there’s a WAR going on, people! Needless to say, characterization in this novel and the focus of so much of the book on Tris and Tobias’s romance kind of bummed me outOn to the story proper: I love the interplay between factions, and the way that Ms. Roth has effectively set the Erudite bullying their way to power through the more amenable/less fearsome factions. Candor is cruel in its own honest way, and Amity seeks peace over conflict at all costs – this serves the Erudite interests very well. That said, there’s something comedic to the evil of the Erudite, and I still have a hard time believing the motivations fo

The story continues as Tris and Four her love run away from the ariodite and hide with the amity faction they now have to face jeanine who is trying to catch every single divergent and killing them since she feels that they are a curse for the system .She also uses the divergents to open an ancient box with all the sighs of the different factins which can only be opened by a 100% divergent.The box contains a very important message from the founders of the faction system.Soon Tris is captures by Jeanine and she opens the box and the message they get is shocking as well as a realization for the people living in the faction system.Totally amazing,breathe taking and thrilling book.A must read.
