Though I seem to recall being a bit peeved with Tris' character. I was very confused with the ending, as well, and I wonder if there is anyone who has it truly figured out.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-75669222594151261582013-05-12T14:13:37.757-05:002013-05-12T14:13:37.757-05:00I've yet to read this, but I do have my copy a...I've yet to read this, but I do have my copy already. I've been waiting so that way I wouldn't have to wait nearly as long to get to Allegiant. But now that we're only a few months away from its release think it might be a perfect time to finally get to this!Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-48691667209798145482013-05-12T08:46:51.726-05:002013-05-12T08:46:51.726-05:00I did not like this one as much as Divergent-I fou...I did not like this one as much as Divergent-I found it rather boring for about 3/5 of the book and only getting interesting toward the ending (which it had an AMAZING ending).The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-8412032162494849952013-05-09T13:11:56.276-05:002013-05-09T13:11:56.276-05:00I love your review <3 I haven't actually ha...I love your review <3 I haven't actually had the chance to read Divergent yet, perhaps I'll pace myself and space it and Insurgent out evevnly in the time until Allegiant?

Maybe it was the stereotype thing; I just didn't like Tris the way I liked her in the first book. I agree with you that the ending was confusing. Can't do nothing but wait for the third book! :)<br /><br />Kaykay @ <a href="http://theartistcreativeforum.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Creative Forum</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328618234001371285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-85660178820495362013-05-08T19:26:03.603-05:002013-05-08T19:26:03.603-05:00Interesting - you're one of the few people I&#...Interesting - you're one of the few people I've seen that says Insurgent is better than Divergent. I really liked both books, but I liked the first better. Thought Insurgent hinted too much but didn't give enough world-building info. I'm eager for the third book to come out. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974988315420539840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-9533304047357727592013-05-08T02:56:32.903-05:002013-05-08T02:56:32.903-05:00I think you did it right—reading them back to back...I think you did it right—reading them back to back is so much better than waiting. I remember having a tough time recalling Divergent when this came out, and it's going to be even worse when Allegiant releases. Glad you enjoyed this, though the ending was confusing. Hopefully all will be revealed in book three.

Since this review assures me the second in the series is worth the read, I think I'll just wait for the third to be released.

So behind, but I think I might need to wait to read this one directly before reading Allegiant. It's becoming a theme lately to wait to finish off a trilogy until the last book can be read after the second one!<br /><br />Still, nice review! Looking forward to reading this one! Want to get the books done before the movie so no movie images impede my imagination!Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-45264439610679145122013-05-07T13:20:28.106-05:002013-05-07T13:20:28.106-05:00Divergent was a so-so read for me.

It didn't meet my expectations but I'm curious enough to finish the series.
