No, Tien, not my usual choice of book, but we had it on our shelves. I know, that is a bit curious but true. So I decided to give it a whirl.

Just a quick note that the game officially finishes on 31 Aug! You have 16 days to complete your round ;)
You are, of course, welcome, to continue at your own pace but when October hits, you may wish that you'd have completed it beforehand!
So, I suggest, if you can, finish your game this month and have a break in September for a running start in October :)

I hope you like Divergent, I'm just about to pick up Insurgent.

Thanks, Vivian. I am still reading my erotic selection for square 135 plus I need to start my last book...but I should finish before the end of the month.
(whispering_ I found that the erotic story needs uninterrupted alone time so it is taking me a while. :)

LOL - definitely couldn't read it on the train to/from work! ROFL - I'd be checking if anyone is reading over my shoulder all the time, out of embarassement.
@Vivian & Susan: I read it last week (took me only about a day and a bit), a bit slow to start and it started pretty much where Divergent left off. Love the ending - makes me want book 3 NOW!

I expect once I start Insurgent, it will go quickly but have a couple other books I need to get through first. Does it end on a cliffhanger?

It still makes me squirm - it's not something I'd read in public (ie. on the train with people is very close proximity) lol
I wouldn't say Insurgent ended in a cliffhanger per se but there is that element of surprise and I would love to find out what happens next NOW but not a cliffhanger - that's what I think anyway :)
