      “You’ll be up all night with DIVERGENT, a brainy thrill-ride of a novel.”

       —BOOKPAGE

      “The imaginative action and glimpses of a sprawling conspiracy are serious attention-grabbers, and the portrait of a shattered, derelict, overgrown, and abandoned Chicago is evocative as ever.”

      —HOLLYWOODCRUSH.MTV.COM

      “Author Roth tells the riveting and complex story of a teenage girl forced to choose between her routinized, selfless family and the adventurous, unrestrained future she longs for. A memorable, unpredictable journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away.”

      —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)

      “With brisk pacing and lavish flights of imagination, DIVERGENT clearly has thrills, but it also movingly explores a more common adolescent anxiety—the painful realization that coming into one’s own sometimes means leaving family behind, both ideologically and physically.”

      —NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

      “Nonstop, adrenaline-heavy action. Packed with stunning twists and devastating betrayals.”

      —BCCB

      “DIVERGENT is really an extended metaphor about the trials of modern adolescence: constantly having to take tests that sort and rank you among your peers, facing separation from your family, agonizing about where you fit in, and deciding when (or whether) to reveal the ways you may diverge from the group.”

      —WALL STREET JOURNAL

      “This gritty, paranoid world is built with careful details and intriguing scope. The plot clips along at an addictive pace, with steady jolts of brutal violence and swoony romance. Fans snared by the ratcheting suspense will be unable to resist speculating on their own factional allegiance.”

      —KIRKUS REVIEWS

      “Roth knows how to write. The novel’s love story, intricate plot, and unforgettable setting work in concert to deliver a novel that will rivet fans of the first book.”

      —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

      “In this addictive sequel to the acclaimed DIVERGENT, a bleak postapocalyptic Chicago collapses into all-out civil war. Another spectacular cliff-hanger.”

      —KIRKUS REVIEWS

      “INSURGENT explores several critical themes, including the importance of family and the crippling power of grief at its loss.”

      —SLJ

      “Roth’s plotting is intelligent and complex. Dangers, suspicion, and tension lurk around every corner, and the chemistry between Tris and Tobias remains heart-poundingly real … This final installment will capture and hold attention until the divisive final battle has been waged.”

      —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

      “The tragic conclusion, although shocking, is thematically consistent; the bittersweet epilogue offers a poignant hope.”

      —KIRKUS REVIEWS

       To my readers, who are wise and brave.
