"Wow, this book totally blew my mind. This series has easily become my number one series. I just cannot describe my love for these books for there are no words in existence that even come close to my feelings of love towards Tris and Tobias, my hatred towards the Eritrude leaders, and my feelings to everything else. This series is one of the very few ones that I can honestly say that I can read this everyday till the end of time and still be swayed by the emotional trauma Tris goes through because I can easily relate. This is a definite read for all those who enjoyed Hunger Games, Eon, and Across the Universe." — Daniel (5 out of 5 stars)

“The next big thing.”
“Roth knows how to write. The novel’s love story, intricate plot, and unforgettable setting work in concert to deliver a novel that will rivet fans of the first book.”
“Insurgent explores several critical themes, including the importance of family and the crippling power of grief at its loss. A very good read.”
“In this addictive sequel to the acclaimed Divergent, a bleak postapocalyptic Chicago collapses into all-out civil war…Another spectacular cliffhanger…Anyone who read the first book was dying for this one months ago; they’ll hardly be able to wait for the concluding volume.”
“The action never slows…[An] incredibly addictive plot. The ending is a high point—just when you think you might not get enough information to satisfy, the perfect amount of mystery is revealed.”
" Dystopian has been done to death now, but I want to see where Veronica Roth takes this. Comparisons to The Hunger Games are inevitable, but the different factions are realised extremely well. "
" Can't wait for the third book!!!!! "
" Not as good as Divergent - but enjoyed it enough to go on to the next. Love the Chicago references. "
" Riveting! I could not put this book down... I love the progress that Tris has made in trusting people and accepting who she is. "
" am waiting for the third book :) "
" Favorite dystopian yet. Couldn't put it down last night. Read it over to cover in 1 night. Worth the yawning I've been doing today. Can't wait for the 3rd and final book coming out 10-22-13 :) "
" Fantastic dystopian series, doesn't dissapoint. Action, Rebellion, Love, fighting, bravery, etc. Awesome "
" Sorry, but I just couldn't get through it. It REALLY lacked the qualities that Divergent had to keep people's attention. I don't think I'll read #3. "
" better than the first one. "
" I want a Tobias Eaton in my life!!! This second book of the Divergent Trilogy is full of truths, and revelations which cause trust issues between Tris and Tobias' relationship. "
" Just as good as Divergent, maybe even better. "
" I didn't like this one as much as the first. I get really tried of teenage angst. I am curious to see what the third one will bring, but I am worried about it. "
" This is a continuation of the Divergent. I could NOT put this book down. I think I read it in 3 days! Can't wait for the third book. "
" Read my "Divergent" book review #ADDICTED! Counting the days until the third book come out! "
" Guilty pleasure. No literary quality, but fun. A necessary treat because I was also reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. I didn't like this as much as Divergent though. A little disjointed. "
" This book, without a doubt, lived to the high expectation set by the first book :) I feel sad that this series is only a trilogy, but I can guarantee that the third book with start off brilliantly based on how Insurgent ended "
" Now, I love this more than Hunger Games. "
" Hated the part where Caleb traits Tris! And hated that Tris lies to Tobias all the time! Loved the part with the paintballing in the dauntless HQ! OMG greatest cliff-hanger ever in the end!! I'm dying to read the next one!!! "
" This book was amazing unlike anyother :) if u ever read this book your not going to stop it was WOW!!!!!!! Plus there r near the end someone dies who should have been died in the last book........ OMG i would recomomed this book to anyone. It is just the good "
" Love the book! Excellent way to continue series, left me pondering possible outcomes for the next one-anxiously awaiting its release! "
" Good read might die of suspense while waiting for the release of the next book. Puffy heart tris and Tobias all the way!! "
" Can't wait until the next book comes out!!!!! "
" Loved it. This story keeps getting better and better. "
" This book is amazing! I love the fact that Four-Tris relationship develops without any interference of any other guy, just them, no jealous drama. And that ending... OMG. Totally unexpected. I loved it! Can't wait for the next one! And Veronica Roth is now my inspiration :) "
" Not as good as Divergent, I think because it takes a bit of getting in to. However, the ending is great. I can't wait for Allegiant to come out! "
" I loved Divergent and its unique story of a future dystopian society and after finishing it I awaited the follow-up with great anticipation. My patience was greatly rewarded as Insurgent is every bit as good as its predecessor and takes the story in a fascinating new direction. I won't say anything else about that as I hate spoilers but suffice to say I'm now itching to get my hands on the 3rd book. "
" I really liked the first book and expected to feel the same about this one. Sadly I was sorely disappointed. The beginning of the book just drags and takes what feels like forever to get going. Also I didn't care for the new direction that the author has taken with the main character Tris. I hate to see a series that started off so well run out of steam so quickly. "
" I liked this audiobook for the most part but it wasn't nearly as engaging as the first novel. It still made for a pleasant weekend diversion though. "
" This series is so addicting, and now I have to wait until October for the third book >_< "
" With Insurgent Veronica Roth's dystopian vision picks up where the previous book left off and capably takes things in exciting new directions. Although it takes a little while in the beginning to pick up steam once it does it excels in its engagement of the reader. "
" I thought that this was one of the most exciting books I've read all year. Can't wait for the next one! "
" Very enjoyable and continues the series quite nicely. Some will compare it to The Hunger Games but it's quite different while being just as exciting as that series. "
" Genuine page-turner. I love the smooth storytelling amidst the complexity of the plot. Can't wait for the third book to come out! "
" Omfg it's n awesome book "
" wowowowowowowowowowowowowow PLOT TWISTS. I can't believe there's a third one coming out! I don't think I can handle it. Thank you Janaya for making me read the series haha "
