The Best Thing About Insurgent

    The book that I am currently reading, Insurgent, has a lot of extremely vibrant characters taking part in it. I think that the best part about the entire book is the strong bond that you make with the characters. An example from the book where you can visualize one of the characters, Four, or Tobias as some call him, is, "He brushes a stray hair away from his face and avoids my eyes. I didn't know his hair was so thick-it was hard to tell when it was buzzed short, Abnegation hair, but now it's two inches long and almost hangs over his forehead. It makes him look less threatening, more like the person I've come to know in private." (Roth, 288) This quote that I chose gives you a very clear image of what Four's appearance may be like and also gives you a bit of an inside to his beginning personality that you saw a lot in book one of the series, Divergent.

    Another thing that Veronica Roth does really well to enhance the books reality and makes readers not want to put the book down is creating suspense. Throughout the book, you come to fall in love with many of the main characters. With all of the suspense weaved into the plot of the story, Roth puts a few of these select characters' lives on the line, which makes you feel as if you have to keep reading or your favorite characters may die or become something less than what they are now.

    She not only intensifies multiple near-death-experiences, but also relationships, whether between two friends, family members, or lovers. I, personally, believe that the tension of a possible relationship conflict can often be more powerful than the uncertainty of war or a death. This is my opinion on this because the entire series seemed to have been building this major relationship between Tris and Four, and yet it is still so fragile that it could be utterly destroyed in the snap of a finger.
