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.

My Review
First off, I absolutely loved Divergent, book 1 of the series. It was different from other dystopian novels but yet still keeping in the same genre. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and the struggles a teen must go through to live in their society. Insurgent begins where Divergent left off. Tris, Tobias (Four), Caleb(Tris's brother), Marcus and Peter are on the run from the Erudite. They arrive in Amity hoping for some help and a place to hideout for awhile. Their stay is cut short and they must leave Amity for fear of being caught or possibly taken down. One thing during this book that bothered me was the constant bickering between Tobias and Tris. They where constantly at odds with one another and at times it became unbearable. Overall I enjoyed the book. There were parts that confused me or I felt could have been better planned out, but I do believe this book is worth reading. The ending was very interesting and did leave you wanting more. If the ending of this book is any indication of book three, I am very excited.
