Reviews
Praise for the DIVERGENT series by Veronica Roth:
“The next big thing.” (Rolling Stone)
“If you like Hunger Games & Twilight, then get stoked for DIVERGENT! Trust us on this—this baby is going to blow up BIG! And if you chose to remain factionless, then you’re gonna be one lonely soul.” (PerezHilton.com )
“A taut and shiveringly exciting read! Tris is exactly the sort of unflinching and fierce heroine I love. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.” Melissa Marr, bestselling author of Wicked Lovely
“DIVERGENT is a captivating, fascinating book that kept me in constant suspense and was never short on surprises. It will be a long time before I quit thinking about this haunting vision of the future.” James Dashner, author of ‘The Maze Runner’
“Well-written and brilliantly executed, DIVERGENT is a heart-pounding debut that cannot be missed. Tris stands out in her action-packed, thrilling, and emotionally honest journey to determine who she wants to be in a society that demands she conform. It’s dystopian fiction at its best!” Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of PARANORMALCY
“A memorable, unpredictable journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away” – Publishers Weekly
“Divergent holds its own in the [dystopian] genre, with brisk pacing, lavish flights of imagination and writing that occasionally startles with fine detail.” – New York Times
“ A masterpiece of epic proportions and an outstanding debut novel.” – Narratively Speaking Blog
“Be prepared to sit on the edge of your seats as this heart-pounding thriller hypnotises you until the very last page.” – Fantasticbookreviews.com

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Roth knows how to write. So even though this second book of the trilogy that began with Divergent feels like a necessary bridge between the haunting story she created in book one and the hinted-at chaos of book three, readers will be quick to forgive. Tris, reeling from the loss of her parents and guilt-ridden over having shot her best friend, must escape the Erudite faction's horrific takeover by fleeing first to Amity and then Candor. Reluctantly, she joins forces with the "factionless" to defeat Erudite. As stubborn and self-destructive as ever, Tris butts heads with Tobias and tests everyone's (perhaps even readers') patience. Roth keeps every chapter action-packed, moving Tris tantalizingly close to learning the secret her parents were fighting to unleash. The author has a subtle way of pulling readers into a scene ("The outside air.... smells green, the way a leaf does when you tear it in half"), and the novel's love story, intricate plot, and unforgettable setting work in concert to deliver a novel that will rivet fans of the first book. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant book!
This is the best book I have read. Love that there's two books that follow divergent, this story would only be half told without them. So glad there is books about "four" coming out so we can see his side of the story. Very well written! Defiantly not what I expected! I hope they make them all into movies (not that movies tell the story as good as books do)
Brilliant. Worthy of a second reading.
If you enjoyed 'Divergent' you won't be disappointed. 'Insurgent' doesn't falter as some sequels tend to do, especially when the couple get together at the end of the first instalment.
Instead of trying to create a trite love triangle to keep the reader engaged, Roth focuses on other, wider reaching external forces to propel the story forward, dragging the reader along.
In a saturate genre, Roth provides raw characters and plausible twists to form a story worthy of rivalling Hunger Games!
Divergent series
These books and movie are amazing. I don,t know how she does it. I am personally obsessed with the series and can,t wait until the Insurgent movie comes out. This is some make believe future world yet it all seems so real. I definitely recommend this amazing series.
