I don't know how I feel about this book. While Divergent grabbed me right from the get go and I couldn't put it down, I found myself wandering away from Insurgent despite how fast paced it was. Really, this book never gives you a chance to catch your breath. Something is always happening and it's always something big, but it really didn't excite me. Why am I always that person who doesn't like the popular series? I just want to gush about my love for it with everyone else. 
 While I loved Tris and Four in book one, I really didn't like either of them in this. And the side characters are still a pain for me to try to keep track of and it doesn't help that a lot of them are introduced just to be killed (which I don't have a problem with. The death makes sense). While I understand Tris is going through breakdown after the events of Divergent, I could not relate to her. Maybe it's because I would probably end up in Candor and I couldn't take her running around lying to everyone. 
 It's just really hard for me to get into a book (especially a first person book) when I can't find common footing with the MC. Second books in trilogies always seem to do this to me though. They're building up for what's to come in the third novel and they always end with that pesky cliff hanger. I really hope 
 Allegiant 
 recaptures what pulled me into the first book. I'm pretty excited for it, but that's more because the majority of people seemed to not be happy with the ending than because of the ending of Insurgent. From the outcry it sounds like the book didn't go with a mainstream happy ending and I'm one of those weirdos who likes seeing that in a book.
