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.

Whaaaaat?

Any additional comments?

It's kind of what you feel throughout this book. You explore the other factions and how they run and find out that it's all pretty much corrupt. The main characters start to fray and you wonder how everything will pan out. The ending leaves a huge WTF feeling as you realize you may have already thought it was happening the whole time, or guessed at other thoughts. So instead of jumping into the 3rd book, you feel like you need a few days to digest everything that happens.

Just letting you know the roller coaster you are heading towards if you get this book, hope it helps. ;)

Entertaining

What other book might you compare Insurgent to and why?

Hunger Games

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I don't think it should be made into a movie.

Any additional comments?

This book was entertaining. I think the author has some maturing to do with writing technic and character development. Interesting story I just hope it goes somewhere deeper in the third book.

Great road trip listen!

movies follow storyline pretty closely. books fill in some character building and details. Book 3 for road trip home👍

Amazing from start to finish!

THIS BOOK. I have never read such an engaging book it felt like I was part of the story! Will listen to it again for sure! AMAZING!

Audible makes mistakes

I love the books! BUT Audible edited/skipped over whole paragraphs from time to time.

Okay, but not as good as Divergent

This book was OK, but without the training dramas, there didn't seem to be as much real stuff going on. It left too much time for the characters (especially Triss) to sit around feeling guilty.

great book

I'm so glad I listened to this book and can't wait for next one thanks

i would have killed tris if i would be 4

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I have to say im writing this review after i finished the third book as well...
so i can promise you you should finish this book and keep on going... but i have to say i would have killed tris several times during this book if i had been in 4's shoes, i think the story in the first book was much better and it is not necesarry to keep on reding /listening if you don't have to.

its an ok book and as i said the third one is better again but i would say only buy this book if you are going to read the third as well. otherwise just stay with the first one.

Which character – as performed by Emma Galvin – was your favorite?

i cant decide. i like her voice. she does a great job reading this book in an interesting way and so i kept on listenig even when i didnt liked the story that much.

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

sort of... as i wrote earlier... i would have killed tris in this book severel times... but not because she was doing something that horrible or so... but because she was acting SO!! stupid.

Better than the movie...

Absolutely loved the movie, but the book is even better. I couldn't stop listening to it.

Awesome

I loved the whole book. At times I was a little confused but that's because I was doing something else but I caught on pretty quick. The narrator made some of the scenes really interesting.
