Insurgent Book review

WARNING- SPOILERS!!!

So I finally finished the book Insurgent. The ending was something of what I predicted, except for the fact that Peter and Marcus are both not dead. I predicted that Peter would work for the Erudite, which he somewhat did, except for he ends up saving Tris' life and helps Tris and Tobias escape the Erudite compound.
 

What happened from where I last blogged about up to the end of the book is the Erudite and traitor Dauntless break into the place where lots of the Divergent (people with an aptitude for 2 or more factions) are staying, along with lots of other survivors from the war who are not traitors, are staying. They shoot simulation-transmitters into a bunch of people staying, but only the non-Divergent people are affected by it. Tris and Uriah, a non-traitor Dauntless, start to look for Divergent people before the Erudite find them. They end up getting caught, and taken to where they are keeping the other Divergent people. Eric, a Dauntless-traitor, who used to be a Dauntless leader, tells the guards to keep a gun on Tris at all times. He then comes back to where the Divergent are, and tells them what is happening. He says that they can only take 2 Divergent to Erudite headquarters for studying, and the rest will be executed. A little boy sitting next to Tris gets shot in the head by Eric, and Tris, grabbing the knife she had in her pocket, attacks Eric, and stabs him in the stomach. The Dauntless who are not traitors then surround the area where the Divergent are being held because of help they got from one of the Erudite, and they save the Divergent. Tris helps remove the needles that transmitted the simulation serum, and then everything settles down. But, in a good action book, things never stay that way. Tris wakes up to Christina, one of her old friends that was a Dauntless initiate with her, and gets dragged but to the roof to see 3 people, Marlene, Hector, and a young girl standing on the edge of the building. They are under the simulation that they were shot with. Marlene announces that this will happen every 2 days until a Divergent is given to Erudite. Tris and Christina save the little girl and Hector, but Marlene jumps off of the building to her death.
 

During the funeral service for Marlene, Tris is overcome by grief and guilt, and leaves the service, where Christina finds her and tells her that she forgives her for shooting Will, who was Christina's boyfriend. Tris had to shoot Will because he was under the simulation in the first book, Divergent, and if she didn't shoot him, he would shoot her. Tris then finds her way to Tobias' room, where he makes her promise not to go to the Erudite headquarters. She says she won't, but after he falls asleep, she leaves and goes anyway. Upon arrival Dauntless traitor guards take her to a cell. Among the guards is Peter. He escorts her everywhere that she goes. Jeannie, the leader of the Erudite who is responsible for all of the simulation attacks and deaths, tells her that as soon as she gets what she wants from Tris, which is a divergent-proof simulation, that Tris will be executed. Jeannie preforms a series of tests on Tris. Peter is escorting her to one of the tests where they run into an injured Tobias, who got captured by the guards. Tris thinks that he came to save her. After one of her tests, Tobias is forced to give Jeannie information on the locations of some of the factionless safe houses. After another one of her tests where Tris actually attacks Jeannie, she calls Caleb out, who is Tris' brother. Tris becomes extremely hurt and views him as a traitor because of this. He was giving Jeannie all the information she needed to know about Tris. After Tris attacked Jeannie, Tris' execution was planned for the next day. They perform the execution, where she is injected. Tris hears the heart monitor go dead, but she knows that she is still breathing. Peter closes her eyes and wheels her out of the room. He starts to run and then gets to Tobias' cell. He explains that Tris is paralyzed for one minute and they run. They end up escaping, where Peter explains that the only reason he saved Tris was because she saved him. They go to the Abnegation section of the city, which is another faction, and meet with the factionless and the Dauntless. One day while Tris is walking around the city, she runs into Marcus, who convinces Tris that her parents died to try to keep whatever Jeannie wants a secret. Tris, believing him, goes to the Amity headquarters with Christina and Marcus to update Johanna. The Amity then holds a meeting and vote to stay out of the war. Johanna and several others then leave the faction because they want to help. Christina and Tris then talk to the Erudite people who were staying in the Amity headquarters, and convince them to help Christina, Tris, and Marcus on getting the information stolen and to give it to all of the factions. Tris leads a group into Erudite headquarters, where she and Marcus then go up to Jeannie's private laboratory after realizing that the information won’t be on a public computer after an encounter with Caleb. On the way up to the laboratory Christina, Marcus, and Tris run into Edward. They fight, and it leaves Christina and Edward injured. Tris and Marcus continue on, and come to a dead end where there are two different doors. They split up, and Tris walks into one of the rooms. There, the room recognizes her, and gives her a set of directions. If she gets through the door on the other side of the room in 5 minutes, then she is allowed to pass. Tris starts to walk towards the door when she gets blocked by herself. They must fight like they did in the initiate training for Dauntless. Tris realizes half way through the fight that whatever she would do in the fight; her image will do as well, so she begins to think of what she would do ahead of time, instead of just reacting. She passes the simulation, and goes through the door, where she finds Tori threatening Jeannie. Tris tries to talk her out of killing Jeannie, because Jeannie is the only one who can access the computer that Tris needs. Tris and Tori fight, and Tori bites Tris. Tris had knocked Tori's weapon out of her hand, but Tori pulls out a knife and stabs Jeannie. Tori then continues to call Tris a traitor, and has her taken away to be tried. Uriah then takes Tris downstairs where all of the traitors where being held for trial. Evelyn, a Factionless leader, then announces a new form of government where there are no Factions. The Dauntless become very upset about this, but find they are powerless because the Factionless had all of their weapons. Tobias then walks into the room, and kisses Tris. Tris begins to hope that all of the secrets that they had between them are gone. Then, a video plays, featuring someone named Amanda Ritter. She says that the factions where created in Chicago and they were sealed off from the rest of the world. But, once the video was played, the Amity would open the gates and they should all enter the world. She says that they should all forget their past, and that she would be entering the new world under the name of Edith Prior. The video ends, and the room erupts in voices.

In the blog that I posted before, I had asked some questions which I know have the answer too.  The questions that I asked where: what happened to Marcus and Peter? The answer to this question is they both live, and Peter does act like he has sided with the Erudite, which I predicted, but he eventually saves Tris, which is going against the Erudite, which is something I did not predict.  What is going to happen to Caleb, Tris, Tobias, and Susan? They all live, but Caleb sides with the Erudite, and Tobias, Tris, and Susan all stay on the other side of the war, the "good side".  Will the war end? It seems that the war has ended, but I can predict that there might be another war because there is a third book, and I don't think that book is just going to be about their new life without factions.  Who will win the war if it does end? The "good side" (Tris, Tobias, factionless and the good Dauntless)seem to have won the war, but only the factionless got what they wanted, and the Dauntless are kind of upset about not having factions anymore. How will the war end if it does end?   The war ended by Jeannie dying and the good Dauntless and the factionless capturing the "rebels", and everyone seeing the video about there no longer being any factions.
