So, let it be known that I'm a grown man. That being said, I fan-girled over this book like you wouldn't believe. I don't want to review the literary aspects of this book (because I'm not qualified), reveal too much (because it's that good), or get too long-winded (because I have a tendency to). Hence, to summarize: I am a grown man. This book was fantastic. Thank you.

I love these books and the re read is so good

Well, this was fantastic.
I'm not even kidding. So many things the first book didn't give me, the second part did and even more, much more than what was needed to earn my satisfaction. It was so, so much better than Divergent and I don't even know what more I should say besides the overwhelming urge to start reading the last book right now. 
The plot, now it has blossomed, is just simply brilliant.
That's all I can say but I think it's enough.

"As war surges in the dystopian society around her, sixteen-year-old Divergent 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"--

           Ve druhém díle sledujeme hlavní hrdiny a jejich záchranu města společně s jejich postupným vývojem a poznáváním se navzájem. Tris si hraje na neporazitelnou a bojovnou hrdinku v snad tom nejhorším vztahu co jsem kdy viděla, Čtyřka je celou knihu bůh ví kde, ostatní jsou na sebe naštvaní a to je tak nějak celá podstata knihy. 
Pojďme si prosím více probrat vztah Čtyřky a Tris; nechápu, nerozumím tomu, jak mohla Veronica Roth do knihy pro mládež zasadit tak neskutečně ošklivý vztah založený na lhaní si a křičení na sebe. Jo, jasně, pokud by v závěru jednomu z hrdinů došlo, že jejich vztah stojí za nic a řekli by to, rozešli se, tak ok, předám tím čtenářům zprávu, že tenhle vztah je skutečně toxický a že by se mu měli obloukem vyhnout. Ale autorka spolu ty dva nechala. NECHALA. Po tom všem, co si navzájem udělali, když si navzájem ani nevěřili, myslím, že se sakra ani rádi neměli.. 
Uff, to je jedno, je to jen příběh, ale ten vztah mě na něm naštval snad víc než celé táhnutí se příběhu.

Dávám tomu 4*/5*, ani nevím proč, ale už své rozhodnutí nechci měnit.

i had such high hopes for this because of how much i loved the first book but this really left me disappointed? didnt understand tris’ motives and the relationship between her and four was just not even remotely enjoyable to read about. yeah its war yeah its gonna be difficult but the amount of miscommunication/lies was just infuriating. thankfully it was very fast paced but it just felt so shallow compared to the original :/

Much of Insurgent is taken up with the the residents of the compound falling under unexpected simulations. If these would be rebels are smart enough to be capable of undoing their society — why are they so easily, and repeatedly fooled? This is more of a case of fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me. This is upwards of fool me a dozen times, I'm gullible!

I seriously don't know why I love these books SO MUCH. I mean, they just drive me crazy. The entire world of this story just takes over my brain as soon as I start reading. It's amazing. And while I can say Divergent was definitely better, this book was not that far behind.
There were a few problems I did come across with this book though. For some reason, I kept getting confused along the way. I don't know if anyone else had this problem but, I kept loosing track of what was happening or forgetting something that had maybe been mentioned a few pages before. Now I don't know if this was simply because my brain just sucks sometimes and I wasn't, I don't know, fully paying attention or something but maybe the author could have made some things a little more clear. And I did find myself getting a little frustrated with the Four and Tris relationship, simply because I hated that they were having problems! I completely understood why and I sympathized with both of them and I totally got everything. I think it just threw my fangirl heart for a loop. At the same time though I liked that the problems they were having made their relationship more real and authentic. Real life relationships aren't flowers and happiness ALL the time.
This book picked up right were the first left off and immediately picked up. I hated to put it down. This book was just so action packed and emotional and GREAT the whole time, I loved it. It took me a while to read it because of my recent busy summer schedule but I know that if I hadn't of been busy, I would've finished it in a super short amount of time.
The last few chapters of this book I was DYING. So much was happening and going on but I could't believe how it ended. I literally sat there and smiled at the pages, totally thrilled and in awe. And intrigued. I seriously can't wait to read the next one!

In this installment, we witness Tris's way of coping with what has happened to her and all around her. I couldn't connect with her much in this one... Hence, the prolonged hiatus from this book. I didn't love it as much as I loved Divergent but it would suffice. But the cliffhanger was totally unexpected, okay? Totally unexpected indeed.

Divergent was a balance between action and emotion. But Insurgent, on the other hand, was more action-packed than it was emotional. Ms. Roth kind of tipped the scale a little bit. I guess, it was okay.

★★★★ // still a great adventure novel, but why does love make people incredibly dumb all the time?

Book #100 Read in 2013
Insurgent by Veronica Roth (2nd in series)

This book is the second in a young adult dystopian trilogy. In this book, Tris and Four are trying to recover from the deadly fight that ensued between warring factions. Additionally, Four (or Tobias) reconnects with his estranged mother, who is in charge of the Factionless. Tris is not sold on the reunion but the couple have more than that issue to deal with before living happily ever after.

I really enjoyed both books in this series so far and will begin Allegiant in the near future to finish out the series. These books are action-packed with complex and interesting characters. They are quick reads that I highly recommend.

Wow! This novel has really blown my mind… and my socks right off. At first I thought it wasn’t going to measure up the first book. It started off a little slow, but boy did it pick up speed. I am so impressed with this novel that it actually made giddy, upset, sad, irritated, and at the end (the last page to be exact) left me speechless!

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin.

I’ll start with the fact that I can’t decide if I like or dislike Tris. I find her exciting at some points and really stupid in others. I know the whole purpose of her character is to show that you can be more than one thing and that they go hand in hand, but sometimes I want to just jump inside the novel and strangle her. Not to mention I am completely jealous of her (in a book character kind of way) in that Tobias loves her and yet she still goes behind his back, lies to him, and ultimately tries to get herself killed on multiple occasions.

I liked how we got see more of the different factions in this novel; a little more of what they were created on, how they function, and what their people are like. I found it completely fascinating that they could all focus on one trait so much. I loved how the characteristic that each was founded on was positive, but that was also accompanied by negative traits as well.

The plot twists were unbelievable and still have my mind reeling. I loved the feeling of being trapped; first in Candor- especially the truth serum and Tris’s reconciliation with Christina, then in Erudite- (which I have to admit was a little confusing at first) with all of the simulations and Tobias showing up… there were times I wasn’t sure what was a simulation and what wasn’t. I loved the character turnarounds specifically Peter and Caleb. And then for the shocker on the last page………..

There was a ton of bloodshed which was a little much for me. I am always one for a happy ending and Roth seems to just like to kill everyone. It was hard in the first novel with Will and Al, but then so many were being shot and knifed and controlled to jump of buildings in this one it was just overkill, but I have no doubt that it won’t lead into the third installment somehow.

No matter what you have heard about this series I highly recommend you pick up a copy and read it for yourself. Tomorrow I am going to get started on Allegiant and I couldn’t be more excited. My head is still trying to figure out what just happened in Insurgent, so if you are in for a good story that leaves you guessing, but wanting more then definitely check this out!!
