Insurgent reading response

         I read a great book over the summer as my free choice selection. Insurgent was action-packed and had all the qualities that I look for in a great book. It was the second in the Divergent series by Victoria Roth and was set in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone has a singular way of thinking and are divided into five factions that are all very different from each other. Beatrice or "Tris", is very special because she has three of the five kinds of thinking. I loved this book because it continued and even maybe one-upped the first book, Divergent, with Roth's visual way of writing and the great story line. Tris becomes caught up in a war between the factions involving one big secret. Tris goes through many ups and downs trying to defeat the mastermind of it all, Jeanine Matthews.
       
          This book is awesome because there is great action and a giant struggle between the genius and the problem that she can't solve. It ends up a great underdog story where even the factionless, the group who lives on the streets because they were kicked out of their faction or failed their initiation, rose to the top. The plot is always intense and the book doesn't get dull for a single page. I couldn't put it down. There is also a great dynamic between the people who are divergent like Tris and the ones who aren't because the divergent are not susceptible to the simulations that Jeanine can control everyone else with. This major difference makes the divergent seem almost immortal because they can't be controlled. I absolutely loved this book and I hope it becomes a trilogy because I will definitely read the next one.
