I read and reviewed the two books collected here separately, so this is just for my own records. I bounced off them, I'm afraid. Divergent got a single star from me, and Insurgent two, so the average is one and a half. I think the issue, for me, is that I'm just not convinced by the setting and I don't really care about the characters. I did like the increasing emphasis on politics - there was more of this in the second book than the first - but the constant deception by the main characters felt repetitive. I'll finish the series because it bothers me when I don't finish series, but I think it's safe to say this one's not for me.
