Publisher's summary

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 best-selling 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.

Over descriptive

Over descriptive, lost my attention in some parts but overall pretty good. I enjoyed it more than the movie.

AMAZING FOLLOW-UP!!! dying to read the next one!!

What made the experience of listening to Insurgent the most enjoyable?

the writing style, the narrator, the author did a fantastic job of making a kick ass chick and yet still believable! this was a fantastic book!

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is a toss up between the main character Tris and Four.
they are amazing characters.

What does Emma Galvin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice is PERFECT! she is great at making every character sound different and yet not cheesy. she brings life to the book and makes you fall in love with it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

BOTH!

Any additional comments?

Ok second book

Any additional comments?

As a sequel to Divergent, this book was just ok. Divergent was a great story, leaving me wanting more, so I was eager to hear this second book. I was only slightly disappointed, and glad for the closure.

much more enjoyable than the film adaptation

happy I have the book a shot and thrilled at how much better it is than the film

Totally caught off guard

It is a great book. I didn't see in ending. The story line always kept me guessing.
I would suggest this book to all my friends.

movie different from book

Both stories are awesome.i watched the movie first. loved this book.buying the next one right after this review.

Good sequel, true to the story line.

Would you listen to Insurgent again? Why?

No, but not because I didn't like it. There are so many books waiting for me, it is hard to re-listen to any book again. A special privilege only one or two books or series will ever have from me......those are my favorites.

That said, I liked this book. It was a good sequel to Divergent. I reallty like the story line, the world Veronica Roth created and the characters are easy to picture in my mind. A mark of a good writer in my book. I would have given the story five stars, but I felt Beatrice was too much of a maverick, lying to friends too much, running off half cocked too often. Even so, I really liked the book, I was just being too picky for a minute.....I'm back now... No question, I will buy the third book, as soon as I can get my hands on it.

What other book might you compare Insurgent to and why?

As I said answering this question about Divergent, it has a Hunger Games favor. But it is not a knockoff or copy. It is a good story line and if you liked Hunger Games, you probably would like this series too.

Which scene was your favorite?

Not going to spoil it for you....read the book....worth the read.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No
