Title: Insurgent (Divergent #2)

Author: Veronica Roth

Genre: Science Fiction, Young Adult

Published: May 1, 2012

This book picked up where Divergent left off.

I have noticed recently a lot of the books I have been reading I have been paying attention to the psychological aspect of what happened to the characters. Most of the story dealt with the aftermath from things Tris had experienced in Divergent. Despite Tris being a little broody every once in a while I thought it was well handled. I liked how Tris who had been raised in a sheltered environment had a difficult time dealing with the violence from the first book.

It was interesting how Tris felt she was learning lessons from each faction. I thought that was a good point, but then I began tho wonder about the world which had been built in the story. How could the characters who were not divergent not understand the need to learn from each other? How did they not realize they needed each other? Then I got stuck on the idea that a person is not all one thing.
They may have one focus, but a person is more complex than that. That being said the book was fast paced and enjoyable to read.

I gave it 4 stars out of 5.
