I got to page 279 of this book, about halfway through, and I realize there are a couple of mitigating factors in my hatred for this book. (Because I do hate it.) First of all, I didn't really like Divergent all that much. It was way too simplistic and I didn't really buy into the plot at all, but it was easy to read and fairly straightforward, so I at least got through that one. Second, right now I'm going through some stuff that makes dystopia hard to read. For that reason, I'm probably being a little harder on the book than I might otherwise be. 
 Nevertheless, I have some criticisms that are valid. For one thing, the story is hard to follow. I can barely keep track of the characters' names, much less what each faction is doing and why, and Roth does not often remind us of these things. I'm also still not sure what exactly they're trying to accomplish by moving around to all the factions and whatnot. More than that, I don't really WANT to follow it because I hate all of the characters. Even Tris, who I liked a little in the first book. And I think that all the "deductions" they're making about what's going on with the other side is just a cop out on Roth's part. She should have them find that stuff out legitimately, not just "guess" it. 
 So, I'm quitting now because it's starting to feel like work and it's bumming me out more than I like my pleasure reading to do.
