Day 388: One Hundred Book Challenge: Book Eleven


Insurgent by Veronica Roth

                I already reviewed this book’s predecessor, Divergent, and if you don’t recall it, that was the book that I said I peed about eighty five times during PLUS almost bested Harry Potter. So this is my spoiler alert, if you haven’t read Divergent, then go and fucking read it. There is something wrong with you if you haven’t read that book yet. You are missing out. If you choose to continue to read this blog post regardless of my warning that there are spoilers to Divergent in it, don’t come bitching to me because I spoiled it for you. Fuck you. I’ll block your ass. I warned you.

You know how a lot of sequels are pretty shitty compared to the first book and then you are left feeling unsatisfied and pissed off because you went and spent all this damn money to get the book AS SOON AS IT CAME OUT which meant you could only get the hard cover copy which is TWICE THE DAMN PRICE of the paperback, and the damn thing sucked?

                Well, this book ISN’T like that, at all. This book was just as damn amazing, if not better than the first. I laughed, I cried, and I yelled at the book. Veronica Roth continues to deliver her edge of the seat writing style. I couldn’t put this book down and actually got upset when I had to because I could no longer keep my eyes open. It was amazing. There are so many twists you never see coming. I loved this book. Again, if you are weak of stomach when it comes to violence, this isn’t the book for you.

                At the end of the first book, you just discovered that Jeanine from Erudite and Eric from the Dauntless had some kind of plan where they injected everyone in Dauntless with serum and they killed damn near everyone in Abnegation. You also found out that it doesn’t affect the Divergent.

                Well, this book offers so many twists and turns. Will Tris and Tobias’s relationship make it through this war? What happens to Marcus? What the heck was Tris’s mother even doing there when she saved her? And so many other questions get answered. An unlikely foe will turn friend and an unlikely friend will turn foe. You will pee yourself at least three times a chapter guaranteed.
