Reading Response: Insurgent

Over the summer, I read the book Insurgent. I really enjoyed the book because it was fast paced and thrilling. Insurgent is set in a dystopian society, but has a unique feel to where it doesn't seem like you've read anything like it before. The book explores the concept of adventure, because Tris, the main character has to go on a journey to find out a secret that their world has been hiding. Tris always has her mine set on doing dangerous things to save others,that potentially put her in danger.

One thing that really surprised me was that Tris's enemy, Peter, actually saves her life. Peter's theory is that he has to be even with a person, Tris pushed him out of the way of a bullet and he saved her by freeing her. Also during the book, Tris does some crazy things that make her fall into traps. She knows in her mind not to do something but she thinks that by risking her life she can save so many more lives. Other characters will tell Tris not to do something because it is dangerous, but she do it anyway for the thrill of it. Tris is a unique character that most people can relate to in some certain way. If anyone is looking for a intriguing, thrilling book to read I recommend Insurgent.
