Insurgent by Veronica Roth



+

Amazon Book Description

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

My Review


I would have given this book the full five stars if it wasn't for the fact that there were gun shooting or death around every corner. Though I will admit that some of the gun shooting was not with lethal ammo. I am not one to even watch movies with even a bit of shooting in to. So for me personally this book was a little excessive in that department.
As for the plot/setting/descriptions every this was well written, definitely a page turner.The continual "what's next" grabs you and never lets you go. The power of the characters that you got from the first book continue without any weaver. If anything you come to respect these characters more.
All in all this book was very well written, especially for the audience that it is intended for. Even with all the inner and outer conflicts with the characters the story flows naturally and isn't forced.
