Initial thoughts: I used to not understand people who don't reread books because they're afraid they won't like a book as much as before. Now I sort of understand why. Insurgent was a book I previously thoroughly enjoyed. I can't say that anymore. It has its moments but there were so many elements that annoyed me during my re-read and I noticed flaws I couldn't overlook. Perhaps in my haste to find out what would happen next, I skipped over these parts too quickly when I first read it. I will still finish off with Allegiant, which I've never read before, in a bid for closure. Not because I care a lot about about Tris or Four. In fact, I don't even like them much now that I'm walking away from my re-read of Insurgent.
