INSURGENT by Veronica Roth

This is the sequel to Divergent.  It is a long book, 525 pages.  I read it in 2 days.

The story picks up at the end of Divergent.  Tobias, Tris, Peter, Marcus and Caleb make their way outside the city to the Amity faction.  They offer them a chance to stay and live among them provided they abide by some rules, one is no weapons. Needless to say, they leave.   Tris is shaken by having to shoot Will during the simulation and has problems using a gun.  They and their group of people make their way into the city and into the factionless area.  Only to find out that Tobias's mother, who was supposed to be dead; is the leader.  They are planning an attack on the Erudite.  The Erudite have been shooting the other factions with chemicals and devices to allow them to control those that have been hit.  They are seeking out all the divergent, or those that are able to resist some of the simulations and during their test at age 16, show them more than one faction choice.  Marcus, who is Tobias's father has a different agenda, retrieving valuable information from the Erudite.  After learning of the beatings Tobias got at his fathers hand, Tris is not sure whether she should believe him.  She finally has to find out the truth and goes with Marcus as they plan an attack of their own on Erudite in order to save the information.  They all end up at Erudite headquarters and the attack is very costly.
