Insurgent
by Veronica Roth
So I finished book 2 in about a day. No surprise there, really, because the first book was so good. I enjoyed Insurgent almost as much as Divergent. I think it's hard to be the second part of a trilogy. The first part sets it up, the second part has to somehow keep your interest, and the third part builds and closes out the story.
Insurgent had a lot of plot twists, and I'm happy that it wasn't as predictable as I thought it would be. There were quite a few surprises in the story line, but also some foreshadowing that I both picked up on and didn't pick up on. The love story plot really gets to me, because it seems so real. Both Tris and Tobias are going through such a stressful and difficult time, and their love story reflects the stress, dishonestly, and exhaustion that comes with the "war" (or whatever we call it).
I started book 3, Allegiant, but I'm only about 60 pages in. I'll leave it to finish tomorrow or the next day, so I can start my 2014 52-book goal off well.
