Insurgent



Katharina Seitz

===Insurgent, the sequel to Roth's divergent tells the love story of Triss and Four in the aftermath of initiation day. War seems like it will soon take hold, however not everyone has a fair shot. Everyone is picking sides but will the city even make it through the turmoil? Family loyalties are betrayed, and although no one knows exactly who or what they are fighting.===

Rating: 2 Stars I was really disappointed with this book after all the rave reviews I had heard. It had Hunger Game potential, but just belly flopped. The writing was pretty average, and lacked some of the grace needed in an extraordinary book, like that of Fitzergerald. I didn't think that the plot line was very inspired and every "twist" could be spotted from a mile off. Roth also focused too much of the novel on the love-story aspect of it, while the plot line would have been really interesting if more effort had been put into it. It was an easy and (somewhat) interesting read, so for anyone who has nothing else to do, go for it, but it isn't a very fulfilling read.
