Rad Reads

This second book in the divergent series is, in my opinion worse than the first.  I was never truly hooked with either book though.  My main issue with Divergent was the fact that the majority of the book was creating the setting with little to no plot development until later on in the book.  My problem with Insurgent is similar.  While the plot development is mildly more active, it's repetitious.  Every plot point is Tris and Tobias either falling less in love, which was interesting at first but the point was made long ago, or the rebel Dauntless moving from compound to compound.  The writing style was also strange, with less focus on smoothness and flow and more centered around rapid, jagged timing, which was confusing and, in my experience, restricted the amount of information the reader was able to retain and feel.  I eventually gave up on this book and quit 2/3 of the way through.
