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.

Intense and Full of Action.

The second book, every bit as good as the first, read really well. This book sets up for the next, unfortunately that will be some time away.

I do believe I will need to listen to both Divergent and Insurgent again before that third book comes out. So that I am really clear and ready for it. Well written and very well worth the listen.

Pure Suspenseful Excellence!

What did you love best about Insurgent?

I love the way the dramatic tension was kept up.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Insurgent?

The ending included a game-changing revelation at just the right point.

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

My sympathies were always with Tris, as no doubt the author intended.

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

As I said before, the tension never really let up.

Rated PG-13 for violence and dystopian themes.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

umm....... yes

Any additional comments?

it was amazing

An OK folowup to the previous story

I have mixed feelings about this sequel, but it was fun to see the worlds of the other factions, as well as the progression and fall-out that continues from the first book. I recommend it if you loved Divergent.

Omg!

I have forgotten how great this book is!! I am so glad I got it on auto book, and the reader is great!! It left me on such a cliff hanger! I can’t wait to get to the next book!!

Love this series!

So much action, plot, and excitement! I also love the narrator. Can’t wait to hear the next book.

Solid part 2 of the trilogy

Would you consider the audio edition of Insurgent to be better than the print version?

The audio edition was very easy to listen to, and especially great during those long car rides

What was one of the most memorable moments of Insurgent?

The book really picked up at the end and made me really look forward to part 3

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

Tris was the best. Emma did not change her voice much between characters.

Great Book - but STOP NOW - Don't read Book 3!!!

Where does Insurgent rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Loved Book 1 and 2! HATED BOOK 3! Will never read this author again! - obviously, she is just trying to make a name for herself and is willing to do whatever it takes. What a waste of my time, energy, and money!

Seriously, if you enjoy book 2 - stop there! Book 3 will wreck the series for you! I have never been so disgusted by an author!

Understand differences with the film

Pretty great. It was definitely intense. I actually enjoyed the movie version more though. There are several differences between how the film arrives to the conclusion of this book and how Roth's original story does. Also, she wrote Tobias kind of whiney and annoying. More immature and clingy. Absolutely opposite of how a brave child of abuse maturing into an adult would act. Movie version of his character is better.

GREAT FOLLOW UP

I love that this book picks up right where the first one stops, and i love that the author does not try to catch you up on the story, she writes as if they are the same book and writes assuming you read book one, so there is no retelling of anything. I LOVE THAT! She just picks up at the exact spot that book 1 ended and kept writing. I think this the first time I have ever read a book series that the author was not constantly having to keep explain something because it happened in the first book. This author is loyal to the people reading the book already and is writing for them, so she does not waste your time re-telling anything, she just keeps the story going. if you haven't noticed, i think this is really cool.
I love this story, there is no love triangle that seams to be typical in most young adult book series. The characters surprise you. And there not a lot of drama, but just a lot of action and story telling. This is a great series and I will read anything this writer puts out.
