I'd only read Divergent a few months ago, and am traditionally very good with names (I'm a teacher and learn all 120 kids names by the end of the 2nd day of school). So for me to have trouble with keeping track of characters is unusual. I'm wondering if she doesn't provide enough description of each character or provide enough defining characteristics (quirks, voice, etc.)<br /><br />Great review! I agree it was an action packed book!<br /><br />My review is posted <a href="http://hughesya.blogspot.com/2012/05/book-review-insurgent.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br /> <a href="http://hughesya.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lauren @ Hughes Reviews</a>Laurenhttp://twitter.com/wordyhughesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-54113844783759797192012-05-05T22:07:14.372+01:002012-05-05T22:07:14.372+01:00I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it...I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it a little disorienting at times!

I agree with you on everything 100% I too had trouble remembering the secondary characters so thanks for providing the link to the recap I wish it was up when I read the book as I know it would have been really helpful and am sure that it now will be to everyone whose just started Insurgent! Total love for this review! <3JessHeartsBooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-34999365712377517142012-05-02T02:27:18.121+01:002012-05-02T02:27:18.121+01:00I'm so thankful Veronica Roth put up that post...I'm so thankful Veronica Roth put up that post because I would have been SO LOST without it. I definitely had to go back through it a few times while reading Insurgent! Secrets and lies are right, this book was teeming to the brim with them. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this book yet but I enjoyed reading your review! Really interested to see how Roth wraps this all up. elenahttp://novelsounds.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-65133233024560678152012-05-01T23:23:13.882+01:002012-05-01T23:23:13.882+01:00Great review, Leanna!

I was holding off reading Insurgent, because it has been SO long since I read Divergent, but the re-cap seems really helpful. Thanks for sharing that!

So glad you liked Insurgent! I just love this series so much - and I really liked that Tris and Four didn't sink into an easy, lovey-dovey relationship, but actually had problems that needed to be worked out. Fab review, Leanna! :)Liz.

I did get a bit disorientated with the characters at first, but thankfully managed to remember who they all were eventually!! I totally agree about the pacing, much faster than a lot of dystopians and this definitely worked in its favour.<br /><br /><a href="http://thecaitfiles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> The Cait Files </a>Caitlinhttp://twitter.com/CaitLomasnoreply@blogger.com
