Insurgent begins an hour after Divergent ends. Now, after the events of Divergent, Tris, her brother, and her few friends are fugitives running from Jeanine Matthews, leader of the Erudite faction. Tris is haunted by her past experiences but knows she has to push on to protect herself, her loved ones, and find out what her faction died for, knowledge that Erudite leaders will do anything to keep quiet. Tris and her friends face one roadblock after another as they venture to find the truth about the past, and save the future of their world. Readers who enjoy post-apocalyptic novels would enjoy this book. It is also a good book for young adult audiences as the protagonist struggles with some of the same problems of growing up. I would not recommend this book to readers who do not enjoy violence though because there are multiple engagements of violence throughout the novel.
