2. “We both have war inside us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us.”
3. “The truth has a way of changing people’s plans.”
4. “Cruelty does not make a person honest, the same way bravery does not make a person kind.”

This is beyond fantastic! I loved Divergent and Insurgent so much. I read them in one sitting and I am sad I read them so fast because that quickly they were over.
I will admit I read these shortly after completing The Hunger Games and I was wary of how similar this book would be due to the wrapping appearing so similar: fractions vs. districts, Tris vs. Katniss, etc… But I was gratefully surprised and I would say in some ways I liked these books far more then The Hunger Games.
Way to go Roth! I literally cannot wait for the final book of these trilogy though that in itself is sad.
Who can be against Insurgent and Divergent? The characters have true life and the words do speak. You can’t deny a book that has so much depth a d personality. It walks with your emotions and the words stay with you even when your done.
AMAZING! These books are just to great for words! But the words that Veronica Roth weaves together are outstanding!
I enjoyed both books. I was up to 200 in the morning. Just couldn’t put it down. The flow of the book just had you mesmerized. I just loved the toughness of Tris and Four was so unpredictable I really enjoyed his no nonsense attitude.So looking forward to the 3rd book. Hopefully they will somewhat follow the book better then they did the Hunger game.
