I absolutely loved this book! I devoured divergent in one sitting and the same was true for Insurgent. I can't wait for the third and final book of the trilogy.

This sequel lived up to the high standard of "Divergent." The author continued to shape the characters in satisfying ways. The story was engaging and fast and thoroughly enjoyable.

A great second installment of the trilogy. Though not as gripping as "Divergent" it does set up the third book beautifully. Though I have numerous other books that need reading I still make time to read this book over again and again.

"Publishers Weekly Review"
by Publishers Weekly,
"Roth knows how to write. So even though this second book of the trilogy that began with Divergent feels like a necessary bridge between the haunting story she created in book one and the hinted-at chaos of book three, readers will be quick to forgive. Tris, reeling from the loss of her parents and guilt-ridden over having shot her best friend, must escape the Erudite faction's horrific takeover by fleeing first to Amity and then Candor. Reluctantly, she joins forces with the 'factionless' to defeat Erudite. As stubborn and self-destructive as ever, Tris butts heads with Tobias and tests everyone's (perhaps even readers') patience. Roth keeps every chapter action-packed, moving Tris tantalizingly close to learning the secret her parents were fighting to unleash. The author has a subtle way of pulling readers into a scene ('The outside air...smells green, the way a leaf does when you tear it in half'), and the novel's love story, intricate plot, and unforgettable setting work in concert to deliver a novel that will rivet fans of the first book.

"Review"
by Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books,
"The depth and richness of Beatrice herself make this an accessible option for both sci-fi buffs and realistic fiction fans."
"Review"
by Kirkus Reviews,
"This gritty, paranoid world is built with careful details and intriguing scope. Fans snared by the ratcheting suspense will be unable to resist speculating on their own factional allegiance. Guaranteed to fly off the shelves."
"Review"
by Hollywood Crush, MTV.com,
"This is one fast-paced read that sticks in your head for days after you put it down, both because of its video-game-like scenes and its thought-provoking premise."
