What do you guys think of Matched?
Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie
I'm happy that we're reading a dystopia book series. It's a nice break from the supernatural. Books like the Hunger Games really got me interested in this genre.

I'm still reading it now, but so far I like the main character Cassia. You can already tell she's going to be interesting because she likes to be set apart from the other citizens. It's like she's made to start a revolution, but that is only an early prediction I have for the story. I'm still reading the beginning.

The Reading Devil (thereadingdevil) oh i just finished it and i thought it was so good! i cant wait for the next one to come out!!
I love Ky!! :p


Mackenzie (macbwill) | 7 comments I read this a little while ago and I'm having trouble remembering some of the things that happened. BUT, I do remember how much I loved Ky :) I also really like the cover of the book which is what made me pick it up in the first place. Can't wait for the sequel!


Andrea (crazyniko) | 18 comments I'm still reading it and I have to say...It is Amazing.


Be Happy | 3 comments I love it <3 I love Ky and Cassia and Ky together are so cute... I can't wait for the second book :)
Does someone know what happens in the second book?


Stefanie I loved this book. I can't wait until the next one comes out!!!


Chara (charalee) I really enjoyed matched. I just got my advanced copy of Crossed and I'm was immediately disappointed.

First, I will admit that I should have gone back and reread (at least parts of) Matched. I also got an advanced copy of Matched, so its been a long time since I read that one.

I started off somewhat disappointed in Crossed because the author dramatically changed the writing style of this book. I don't like that when I don't see a great reason for it. It just seems like an after thought, as though she didn't really put enough thought into the series before she started publishing.

...That being said, I'm about 3/4 of the way through the book and its a good story with similar themes as the first one. It keeps me interested and I can't stop reading because I want to know what is going on with each of the characters that I've become so connected with.

The characters that I like the most have changed, I really enjoy the way that each of the characters has developed.

As with most YA books, the teens/children seem to be capable of much more than I think they would be in reality, but that's part of what makes it fun to read.

Sara (♥ hearts Alec Lightwood♥) | 28 comments I LOVE MATCHED! i cant wait for crossed!!! eeeepp


Jurga | 37 comments I'm in the middle of the book; it's not bad, but I don't find anything better to say yet; a bit dragging.
It's funny how we always like that "second guy" more! lol

I love it so much! Can't wait until November


Sevri | 2 comments I liked both Matched and Crossed, though in Crossed i confused the characters sometimes. Though that's probably because i never read chapter titles


Scarlett Plage | 8 comments Hmm overall I wasn't in love with this book. Shocker. I felt like the pages dragged on for a bit to much for my taste. I will still read Crossed though since I want to see our main kick some butt, and also I want to see what the complication was with the computers. Tehe.


Rosie | 4 comments I've gotta agree with Scarlett!


Paigey Cooper (paigey_pokemon) | 10 comments I just finished reading this book while i was on holiday and i have gotta say i loved it!. i couldnt put it down. it continuonally kept me on my toes and made me want to read the next one, which i'm DESEPERATE TO read!


Zayna | 41 comments Funny thing..I actually like Xander more than Ky. He's the best friend that has always been there for her. and its stupid how he doesnt get enough credit. :( Really enjoyed the book though!!


Sassy Sarah Reads | 9 comments I really liked Matched. I thought it was a refreshing change from paranormal books and I like Cassia's character and I really like Ky. This book also got me interested in dystopia books. I read XVI a couple of months ago and it was really good and now I can't wait for the sequel.

It is definitely worth reading. I read it when I was at home sick and it kept me reading all day. I couldn't put it down.


Zayna | 41 comments I agree it really was good. how do you guys feel about XANDER? i honestly like him more than Ky...


Kathleen Harsch Loved it!


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

I just got it from my school! So far, im only on pg.98, but its good so far :D One part was a bit confusing at first, but i still like it. @Zayna : So far, i also like Xander more than Ky :)


bookaholiclover | 1 comments I loved matched!


Robyn (robyn218) Just finished it ! I thought it was pretty good, to me it sounds like a futuristic society that anyone could have created, but the last parts of the book, especially the red tablet, really intrigued me.


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

I just finished it! It was good and interesting! Although i feel sorry for Xander.

I kno :((((((


Jennifer (jennlovee) | 3 comments Loved, loved, loved this book! I had wild dreams for a few night after reading it. The Society had me hooked. I just finished the second book...


message 35: by Lina (new) - rated it 3 stars

Lina (From the Verge) | 2 comments I liked it but I kept thinking so much about symilar dystropian books such as: Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451. I wasn't too convinced about Cassia's motives, her struggles and characterization per-se. I did enjoy reading about Ky and I liked how Xander is presented.

Although lately I've been reading too much about love triangles it's getting a bit repetitive on YA fiction...


Sarah | 1 comments It was Amazing!! Though i feeel sorry for Xander!! D:
