Insurgent

         

             I have finally finished Insurgent, and although I really liked the book, I am excited to read something new.

            From where I left off, here's a quick summary of how the book ended. After Peter saved Tris and Tobias, and they all fled from Erudite, they go to the Abnegation faction, more specifically to Tobias's home. There, they meet up with the factionless and their old friends. Tris later runs into Marcus, who tells her that Abnegation has some secrets they were going to reveal, and those secrets are the reason Tris's parents died. Tris doesn't know who to trust--Tobias or his abusive father? She decides to side with Marcus.  Christina comes along with Tris and Marcus, pretending to be Abnegation and Amity members. They arrive at the Amity faction and ask Johanna (Amity's faction leader) if they can speak to any Erudite that are in the Amity compound. Johanna holds a meeting to inform the Amity members about what is happening between the faction systems, and how she is on Tris's side. At Amity, Tris meets loyal Erudite members-- one named Cara (who is Will's sister). While they're on the way to the city, Tris asks one of the Erudite members if he knew Caleb. He tells her that he did and that Tris should not judge him harshly about what he did. They break into Jeanine's control room but while they're in them, Caleb comes in, trying to stop Tris. Marcus smacks Caleb, knocking him out. They figure out that the information is not in the control room, so they head to the laboratory. They run into Edward on the stairs, who is furious because they're now basically traitors of the factionless and Dauntless. Edward shoots Christina in the leg and she shoots him in the side. Marcus and Tris need to keep moving so they leave Christina there. Tris and Marcus split up. Tris goes into a door, and there she has to fight a simulation against herself. She fires the gun and defeats her simulation self. Tris races into the lab but finds Tori there, screaming at Jeanine and beating her. Tori wanted revenge on Jeanine because her brother was killed under Jeanine's command. Tris stops her, saying that they'll never get the information if Jeanine is dead. Tori calls her a traitor. Uriah and Tobias come, and Tori tells them that Tris is a traitor. Tobias tells Tris to tell the truth, and since her truth included helping Marcus, he doesn't believe her. Uriah and Tobias take Tris away. Christina is fine but Lynn dies. Before she dies, Lynn say she loves Marlene (who is also dead). After everything happens, Tori sets some rules. Amity will not be apart of the faction system but will still have to produce food for them. As she is talking about how the new system will be, Evelyn (Tobias's mom)  speaks up and says how there will be no more factions. While this is going on, Tobias, Marcus, and Caleb, had managed to hack into Jeanine's computer system. It was a video with a woman speaking, who ended up being one of the city's founders. She speaks about how Divergents make the world a better place. But the most shocking part was that her name was Edith Prior, meaning she is related to Tris.

            While reading the book, I also watched the movie. I have to say that I definitely liked the book better. First of all, they are very different from each other. The movie was mainly centered around this box, that had something very important in it, which ended up being the video. Also the movie didn't make me curious about what was going to happen next. It didn't end with any cliff hangers or anything to make you want to see the next movie. Overall they both were pretty good, but like I said before, I need a break from Sci-fi and I want to read something new.
