Insurgent Releases Today!!!

Today is Insurgent's (Divergent #2) release date. So this post is going to focus primarily on Insurgent.



One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

ONE CHOICE. A CHOICE becomes a sacrifice. A SACRIFICE becomes a loss. A LOSS becomes a burden. A BURDEN becomes a battle. ONE CHOICE CAN DESTROY YOU.

I've heard that Insurgent was clean. So there should be nothing bad in it. If there is, I am sorry. I have yet to read the book. :) Thanks for stopping by and 'celebrating'
the release of Insurgent!

Cover Conversation #2: Insurgent by Veronica Roth

INSURGENT by VERONICA ROTH



Release Date: May 1, 2012

WOW!!!!  The book cover just keep getting better for this series! Here's the first one:



Do you agree with me? Divergent's cover was the bomb, but Insurgent's cover is just about AMAZING!!! This cover designer should be paid a LOT of money because they are awesome at their job! :O

Little Side Note here: Divergent means, "different from something else", Insurgent means,"someone who rebels against authority or leadership." Appropriate titles, huh?!

I love the colors on Insurgent better than Divergent too. And I'm guessing that Insurgent is dealing with Amity (the peaceful) because of the tree on the cover (the tree is Amity's symbol). And I know I'm really early with this cover conversation but I wanted to do it before Insurgent was released. :) If Ms. Roth gets 35,000 pre-orders she is releasing another book from Tobias's (Four's) perspective! *NOTE: I have no idea what is in this book! I do not know if it is clean or not!*

(psst! Be sure to check back tomorrow! I'm giving a hint on writing a good book! from reader..to writer :)

Back Blurb:     
      In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago society is divided into 5 factions dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue---Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is---she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
     During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are---and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden
from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves.......or it might destroy her. ONE CHOICE decides your friends. ONE CHOICE defines your beliefs. ONE CHOICE  determines your loyalties---forever. ONE CHOICE CAN TRANSFORM YOU.

My Review:     
     Divergent is one of the bestest debut books I have ever read! As soon as you pick it up and read it you are thrust into a world of division. Everything and everyone is divided. Everything they do is different. And if you aren't as divided as others you will die. It's was very nice to read a dystopian book where the govenment doesn't control everyone and everything they do. I do wish that Veronica would have toned down the romance and put action in it's place. And everything the Dauntless do just seems to be dumb instead of brave. When I started reading the book I got confused will all the different factions and had to constantly refer to the back blurb to figure out which was which but, still this was a great book that every one (who likes blood shed and violence) will enjoy!
