Insurgent

I finished this book in 11 hours... 11 hours!! Which means there were no major obstacles, or anything to give me pause. A good sign? I'll be fucked if I know.

Boy, there's a lot of crying in this book. And a lot of kissing. Tris is either crying or thinking about crying, or kissing Four or thinking about kissing Four. And in between she thinks about her parents and Will, and gets all illogical and suicidal. And then she lies a whole bunch and does stupid things. Basically Tris is Harry Potter, going off and doing stuff everyone has agreed are stupid and dangerous, because Tris needs to find out "the truth" AT ANY COST, and only Tris can do it because she is special. Never mind all the people who care about her and whose lives she puts in jeopardy...nooo. Don't get me wrong, curiosity is a great thing and an excellent driving force, but it doesn't give you the right to be a selfish a-hole.

I'm not gonna post any spoilers, all I'm gonna say is all my predictions from the Divergent review came true. I am obviously some sort of Oracle of YA-literature, Dystopian obviously.

As I speed-read through this book it became obvious to me that Roth's favourite word is "obviously", obviously. Try reading through it without noticing it...Obviously, you can't.

This wouldn't have been so bad if it had been part of one character's linguistic repertoire, or if it had been a sociolinguistic trait of one of the factions, but obviously everyone uses it...all the time!

This book is junk food for the brain. It has zero useful nutrients, but damn does it taste good.
I hate myself even more now...Allegiant here I come. Let's finish this Big Mac, once and for all.
