Roth, Veronica. Insurgent. New York: Katherine Tegen, 2012. Print.

“I open my eyes, terrified, my hands clutching at the sheets.  But I am not running through the streets of the city or the corridors of Dauntless headquarters.  I am in a bed in Amity headquarters, and the smell of sawdust is in the air” Insurgent By: Veronica Roth is a sequel to the book Divergent,  about a girl named Beatrice Prior.  Beatrice or Tris is in the midst of a surprise attack on the Abnegation faction.  She is what most people call “Divergent”  which means that she is not affected by simulations.  Beatrice wakes up one night in the training facility in the Dauntless faction with all other members being mind controlled by the Erudite faction.  The Erudite wanted to have more food distributed to their faction and more government control, so they put the entire dauntless faction into a simulation or so they thought.  Tris and her boyfriend Four or Tobias and a few other Divergent,  Dauntless members were unfazed by the simulation. Tris and Tobias fight their way to the leader of Erudite,  Jeanine Matthews.  When they reach she puts Tobias in another simulation which works on him and she makes him control the larger simulation while she attempts to murder Tris.  Tris escapes from Jeanine to find her mother who dies trying to help her to a safehouse in the Factionless Sector.  Tris and Tobias Destroy the simulation and try to kill Jeanine Matthews in order to find out what’s outside the fence borders.

This book was very fast pace and very detailed.  I loved this book and the first book Divergent.  This book never got dull and kept having small climaxes all leading up to one big surprise.  Overall the book was a great read and i would recommend this book to everyone.
