This book was an overall disappointment. While Divergent wasn't OMG THE BEST THING I'VE READ EVER, it was pretty damn entertaining and a solid book that had a great female lead character. 
 In Insurgent it's like Tris got taken over by a body snatcher. What on earth happened to my relatable and clever heroine? Why does she make the worst decisions ever? To make matters worse Veronica Roth keeps having to remind us that she's smart and contriving ways to show this to us. It didn't work on me. Tris made terrible decisions after terrible decision without thinking anything through and by the end I finally had it with her. Ugh. I found myself agreeing with Four 99% of the time, yet his character bothers me as well, for completely different ways. He doesn't sit well with me. He can be such an overall sweet guy and then it's like, "Oh hey, gotta up my badass tough guy quota" and I lose all respect for him. Not to mention a lot of the other characters are not memorable for me. Someone would die (not going into specifics, no spoilers) and I'd be like, "Who?" 
 The next problem was the plot, or rather, the huge lack thereof. What was going on in this book? It didn't seem like anything was really happening until the very end. I think having only Tris's POV really killed this one, because it made her end up in situations that I don't think she should've been in, and it really killed any direction the plot could've had. 
 I'm mixed on the ending. The overall "twist" was pretty damn disappointing. I did like one aspect that didn't completely follow tropes, but I'd rather keep this review spoiler free. 
 Now that I've torn this one to pieces, I can tell you what I liked. While the plot was all over the place, I found the book to be entertaining which counts for a lot for me lately. It feels like I've been reading a lot of boring books and struggling lately, but this one was quick and easy to get through and I never felt it was dull even though the plot was aimless. I ended up adding a star because of this and while that may seem silly, I was glad to read a book that didn't make me feel like I'm in the slump I am right now. 
 In my own rating system I'd give this one an "okay". I will definitely read the next (and I imagine last) book. This will also determine for me whether this book is worth reading in the long run.
