Insurgent

7/9/16

I actually didn't start reading the book yet, but I figured I'd do a first impressions post anyways. Only because I only saw bits and pieces of the movie. So you can say that I'm actually reading the book before the movie. I'm so excited. The first book was pretty good, so I have high expectations for this book. Also the symbol on the cover looks pretty cool. I wish I could remember what the symbol looked like for Divergent, but I don't have that book. I have the movie cover. Sad face. Anyways, I'm excited to read this book after a long wait. I'm going to start right now in fact.

 I did some major catching up on reading on the book Insurgent. And can I say that it is totally different from the small pieces I've seen from the movie. Like the movie went way off from the book. It kind of amazes me that Hollywood would do such a thing. I know the first movie was nothing like the book as well. But this time around they didn't even stick to the story line. Its like why even bother saying that it was taken after a book. Kind of makes me nervous about the other movies that are out for the rest of the series. Either way, I'm highly enjoying the book and my goal is to have it done by the end of the week. If not. You all can send me hate mail. But I'm going to head out for now.

 The book takes place right where the first book ended. Kind of like that by the way. Anyways, they head to Amity for safety. But they don't stay safe for long because the Erudite and half of the Dauntless come after them. This is where things get different from the movie. Or at least from the parts that I've seen. How they escape and get discovered is completely different. I won't tell you how its different, you just have to find out yourself. Anyways, they manage to get away. Then they run into the fationless, who lead them to a very unexpected person. Kind of wonder what the story is behind the person they meet. We get hints but not all out say what actually happened. Maybe Four will tell us more later in the book. But so far I am just about a quarter of the way through the book. I stopped right when they were getting arrested. Not sure why. But I have a pretty good idea.

I'm finally almost done reading Insurgent. It was a tough road with everything that I have been doing, but I did it. A lot of stuff happens in the book. So much so that I can't tell you exactly what happens. Except that a few people die because they decided to run away from Candor, Tris turns herself in to the enemy, Tris escapes with an unlikely ally, Dauntless declares war after partnering up with the fationless, Tris learns some important information that she had to save, and so on and so forth. Reading the book makes me want to see how different the movie is from the book. Just from the small pieces I've seen, I can tell that the movie is once again nothing like the book. But I still want to watch it. Anyways, its a good book and I wouldn't of read it faster if I wasn't also working on numbers and estimates for the bookstore that I'm opening up. But I can see why these books got turned into movies. They are really good. Not the best because Romance is still my preferred genre, but I do enjoy the series. Now its time to wrap up this book and pick up the next.
