![]() ![]() ![]() It wasn’t a terrible read, I can understand why some people liked it, but it wasn’t for me. ![]() Overall, I guess I just thought there would be less sitting around waiting for things to happen and more action. (I wanted to use emotional or painful instead of drama-filled, but I think that was more me putting myself in Tris’s shoes and injecting emotion into the situation since Tris didn’t seem to have much emotion one way or another.) ![]() I also found the relationship problems between Tris and Tobias to be realistic (given the premise) and drama-filled enough to hook me. I have a penchant for broken characters, especially the ones who teeter on the edge of darkness, capable of being good but dangerously close to choosing the wrong path. I found Tobias to be interesting as a character, with his erratic behavior and the darkness that started showing through. I will say, however, that it was at least a little more interesting than the first in character development. But this book just didn’t do it for me on either front. Insurgent, by Veronica Roth, is the second novel in the three-part Divergent series and describes a revolution in a post-apocalyptic Chicago. I can love an action-packed, plot-driven book even if there’s little character development. I can love an emotional, character-driven book even if there’s little plot. I know a lot of people LOVE these books, but, much like with the first book, I was just plain bored. ![]()
