Background
Insurgent is the sequel to Divergent in the series by Veronica Roth. It was published a mere year after Divergent was released.
This time it goes beyond the factions. One is trying to wipe out all the resistance and take over the city.
My Thoughts
Though easy to read and not a bad story there is still too much of the odd self deprecating yet almost unstoppable protagonist who has powers beyond everyone around her. She suffers self doubt constantly yet somehow survives the un-survivable. The world is seen through the eyes of a 16 year old girl and it shows.
Recommendation
If you are a 16 year old girl then you will likely enjoy this book. However, I wouldn’t suggest it for the 16 year old girl. Yet, I was still glad I read it… If nothing else, I know what people are talking about.
