Insurgent Review

    I chose Insurgent because I read the first book in the series which is Divergent. I loved Divergent so much and I could not wait to start Insurgent, and I ended up loving Insurgent even more! I thought everything about the book and the way it was written was so amazing. I read the whole series in three weeks because it was so good, I read all of Insurgent in a day because of how good it was. I would recommend the book to someone who likes action books but with romance. The combination of the two works really well and it makes the book so incredible. Also if you like to read about Utopian societies then you would like this book a lot I think. If you liked the Hunger Games this is a lot similar but better so that would be another to read Insurgent or the whole series. If you're looking for a new book this is your book so you should read it!

Are you hooked yet?

“Dauntless traitors crowded the hallway; the Erudite crowd the execution room, but there, they have made a path for me already. Silently they study me as I walk to the metal table in the center of the room. Jeanine stands a few steps away. The scratches on her face show through hastily applied makeup. She doesn't look at me.

Four cameras dangle from the ceiling, one at each corner of the table. I sit down first, wipe my hands off on my pants, and then lie down.

The table is cold. Frigid, seeping into my skin, into my bones. Appropriate, perhaps, because that is what will happen to my body when all the life leaves it; it will become cold and heavy, heavier than I have ever been. As for the rest of me, I am not sure. Some people believe that I will go nowhere, and maybe they’re right, but maybe they’re not. Such speculations are no longer useful to me anyway.

Peter slips an electrode beneath the collar of my shirt and presses it to my chest, right over my heart. He then attaches a wire to the electrode and switches on the heart monitor. I hear my heartbeat, fast and strong. Soon, where that steady rhythm was, there will be nothing.

And then rising from within me is a single thought:

I don’t want to die." 

This is one of my favorite parts of Insurgent, it is a really serious point in the book.  I don't want to give anything away because this is a big deal in the book so I don't want to ruin it. My best way of explaining this without giving anything away would be that during this part the main character is going through a very traumatic experience and she is emotionally struggling during this part. Potentially something extremely huge is about to happen but I'm not going to reveal that information because you should just read the book and find out!
