This book was given to me by my sister (along with the third book Allegiant) while I was feeling sick and wanted some new reading materials.
I didn't devour this book as fast as I read Divergent. I found the start of Insurgent slow. It took me about 7 chapters to get as wrapped up in the story as I was with the 1st book, but once I was hooked I didn't put it down. I read Insurgent in 5 sittings.
I think Insurgent is suitable for young teens and up. Like the first book, there is quite a bit of violence, rule breaking and self discovery, so it may not be for everyone. The political messages may not be recognized by junior readers (but that doesn't take away from the entertainment of the book).
