Matched by Ally Condie

Cassia has always had complete trust in the Society to make decisions for her, but when she is being paired with her ideal mate, a second face flashes on the screen, and Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility as she tries to decide which man she truly loves.

  1. I am about half way into this book and i love it. My favorite part so far is when she is in the woods and she is reading the poems. I hate how in their society they only can do certain things. I feel bad for them. I wish that someone would try to break free from the officals.

    1. I agree with you! It is very cruel and unfair that they have to not have any freedom. I think that they should have been able to at least read whatever they wanted to. If you liked this book though I would recommend the second one!

  2. This book is one of my favorites. I think that the plot was very good ,and it was very thought out. I could not put the book down. I loved it! Cassia,the main character, was my favorite. She was very headstrong and outspoken.

    4. I have been wanted to read this book for a while now. Everyone is saying this a really good book. In my opinion this sounds like the book " Among the Hidden and " Harrison Bergeron". I cant wait to read this book!

  3. I thought this book was really good. I couldn't seem to put it Down. One of my favorite things about the book is the live triangle. However I thought the government was a little twisted. Overall it was a great book!

  4. I've read this book before and both times I thought it was a little too "lovey dovey" and lacked the adventure component that many dystopian literature books have. I did appreciate a new view of future America BESIDES ZOMBIES.

    1. I agree that this book was way too "lovey dovey." I think that it did lack the adventure component that makes dystopian literature so compelling to me. I read this book last year, and I found Cassia to be EXTREMELY annoying. There weren't enough plot twists to keep me interested enough to read the rest of the series.

  5. This book's interesting plot interested me to keep reading throughout the book. The only thing that I found completely predictable was the outcome of the love triangle between Cassia, Ky, and Xander. The society's complex and unusual details were interesting; they kept me wanting to figure out more! I reccommend that anyone who has an interest in dystopian literature read this book. I liked it.

    1. I agree with you 100%. when I first started reading this book I hated it. I was very close to turning it in. I"m glad I didn't though. I think if you can get to the end of the book you will be glad you read it!

  9. I thought Matched was a very good book. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the sequel was not as good and it seemed like it was just a repeat over, and over again. Matched is a very good read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes romance novels. The author did a very good job with it.

  19. I enjoyed this book a lot, though I think the author should have added more exciting and adventure in the book and less romance. Overall I think it is a good book for people who like romance.

  20. I thought this was an excellent book. I really love all the twists in this book. And i really look forward to reading the sequel. Although some have said they weren't good.

  21. This book is a classic dystopian literature. It has the components that each one attracts manhy readers with. I was looking forward to reading it, and I was only partially disappointed. The main character struck me as a bit annoying, and I could never bring myself to fully like her as a person. However, the setting was amazingly described; that was very interesting for me.

  22. I didn't think I would like this book but it was very interesting. I hate how they can't choose stuff there selves.I wouldn't be able to live that way. I feel really bad for them. It reminds me a little of the short story "Harrison Bergeron " that we read in class.

  25. This book was absolutely amazing! It made me think a lot about how we are lucky to have the freedom that we have. Instead of everything we do being controlled by someone else instead of ourselves. It was sorta boring towards the beginning, but got better as the story progressed.I can't wait to read the next book! I recommend this book!
