Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your whole life was planned. You didn't get to cheese who you got married two and had to live the same as everyone. The government only allows the people to have access to 100 paintings, books, pieces of music. And other sources of art. People in the book matched by Allyson Condie must all live the same, eat the same, and get Matched with someone which whom they will marry. But Cassia is matched with two people. As I said Seventeen year-old Cassia lives in a futuristic, dystopian society where the citizens' lives are strictly controlled by the government. At the age of seventeen, citizens undergo a process known as "matching" which means being paired up with another boy or girl selected by the government. She ends up being matched with her best friend, Xander, and is at first excited about their future together. However, when she's at home viewing her micro card on the port, something flashes and a familiar face pops up on the screen, its Ky Markham, another friend of Cassia's. She is confused because she was matched with Xander and Ky who is an aberration. An aberration is someone who will never be matched. Cassia soon starts to fall in love with Ky during her summer leisure. Throughout the book Cassia is forced to try and forget about the image of Ky on the port and focus on her true match Xander. But, that is difficult for Cassia knowing someone else could be her match too. Throughout the novel Cassia has to face choices and rebellion against the officials which makes life even harder. This book was amazing, I highly recommend it. There were points in the book that make you really have to think. Also I am glad that Cassia is standing up for what she believes in and is not just going with the flow. It’s important to stand out and express how you really feel. This book does a great job in keeping readers entertained. I often found myself saying over and over “one more chapter”. I have not yet read the next two books but an extremely excited to start them. Allyson’s way of writing just seems to be so descriptive. If you ever need a Dystopian Future book to read this is the one. It’s filled with everything, action, suspense, romance, and rebellion. Just think if you were put in Cassia’s shoes or just even in the society what would you do differently, or the same and why. And if anyone is debating to read this book you defiantly should, everything is great about this book, the beautiful writing by Allyson, the plot, and the character depth. Thank you for reading this and I hope I inspired you to buy this book.

Soooooo slow-pacing

Format: Paperback

I personally do not know what the Entertainment Weekly critics read when they said this was "the hottest YA title to hit bookstores since The Hunger Games". Maybe they didnt read The Hunger Games. Because saying that is a pretty terrible insult to Suzzanne Collins, since the Hunger Games is freaking amazing, and this book is most certainly not. Beware, there might be some spoilers ahead. This book had a lot of problems, at least for me. It wasnt terrible, you can finish it, and it may leave you with some interesting things to keep in mind, but that is it. It is not totally enjoyable, since on some parts you have to fight to keep reading, not completely intriguing, or thought provoking, or even innovative. This book tells us the story of a seventeen-year-old girl named Cassia, who lives in The Society. Thie Society is a dystopian world which is strictly controled by Officials: they determine who you marry, when you marry, when you have kids, how many do you have, etc. They monitor your dreams, and have you doing the exact amount of exercise and eating the exact food you need in order to mantain a healthy body. Their main goal is to make your life span really long and to improve the human`s genetic pool. In order to achieve that The Society controls EVERYTHING. They even determine they day of your death, which is the day of your 80th birthday. When teenagers turn 17 they have to attend their "Match Banquet", the event in which every girl will be assigned to their "perfect" boy match, according to the system, with whom they will have to marry when they turn 21, and then have kids with at 24. Cassia is extremely excited on the day of her Match Banquet, and is astonished when she finds out that she has been matched to her best friend, Xander. She receives a microcard with all his information, although she already knows everything about him, but when she opens the microcard on the day after the Banquet, Xander`s face appears rapidly on the creen and then vanishes. A picture of another boy appears instead. The face of Ky Markham. Cassia is totally confused and doesnt know what to do. And from there the story develops. The misunderstanding woth the microcard transforms into much more, and of course, our "heroine" (if you can even call her that) ends up doubting about her world and how controlling it is. As I said before, I had some problems with this book. First, its EXTREMELY slow-pacing. I think that for the first interesting thing to happen (besides they whole Ky`s-face-on-the-microcard thing that you already know from the begginging since its said in the back of the book) you have to read like 160 pages(no, Im not kidding). There are, easily, 150 pages scattered through the book that are exclusively about Cassia thinking of Ky`s eyes, or Ky`s words, or what is his story; that sort of thing. Questions like "Does he care for me?", "When did he see me?", "Oh, I want to kiss him so bad" are constantly present throughout the book. I really think this novel should have entire chapters cut off. They dont have a purpose to be there at all. Another thing related to this is that, as we all well know, the whole love-triangle thing is being used in an over-the-top way these days. The love triangle between Cassia, Xander and Ky seems to be the only story-line for at least three quarters of this book, so I should say Ally Condie wasnt very innovative. Besides, I should say that I didnt connect to ANY of the characters. Cassia was heavily annoying at times, and slightly annoying every other time. She didnt seem to have a very strong personality, and her convictions seemed to waver often. In the end she sticks to a certain way of thinking, but the path she chooses shows that she is really not a very intelligent girl. Related to that is the fact that she was constantly having questions pop in her mind from her personal experiences and she would connect them to universal questions in a bold way, ALL THE TIME. It seemed she was a 12 year old just discovering the world, and not an almost-adult person. I can understand that because of the sheltered way she was raised, but it only made me feel mad. Was the author trying to make her sound smart?? I dont know. I didnt connect to her in the least. Xander was a total sweety, but really, we dont get to know him that much. I think he would be a fantastic character to explore (maybe on book 2?). I didnt connect to him either, but I found myself thinking "Why does this have to happen to him? Poor guy. He gets the crazy girl who wants to ruin The Society for a stupid love. Ugh. He just wanted his perfect match". I know The Society is bad and everything, but the poor guy just wanted to be left alone and live happily, and she had to go and decide that after all, she didnt want the society she had wanted until the day before. Ky was OK, but really, his whole love story with Cassia was a little cheesy and unrealistic. And as Cassia spent great portions of the book talking about HIM, and how he IS, and what he DOES, and etc. you kind of feel bothered by his presence in the end. Its tiring after a while. I would also like to add that the world needs to be more defined on the next book, at least for me. How did we arrive at this world? Where is it geographically? In the United States? Cassia mentions the "Outer Provinces" and, farther away from them, the "Other Countries". What are the "Other Countries"? The countries that exist nowadays or are there other countries that have developed similar systems as The Society?? This book is OK, it has good things, you dont end up thinking you have completely lost your time, but it has some major flaws that I hope are adressed on the second book. I think I`ll probably give it a try when I have time, but Im not super intrigued, or anything of the sort.

Interesting view of the future.

Format: Kindle

Matched by Ally Condie. This is a science fiction that is futuristic. It is suitable for junior high students to read and would be a great series for them after the Divergent series and the Hunger Games. The characters are very realistic. Cassia is anxious to attend her Matching Ceremony. She will know who her husband will be or at least who the person is who best fits her. She will then get to know this person over the ports. At seventeen, she is also waiting to find out what her work assignment will be. She is a sorted and is making great strides in this field. She steps out to the Matching Ceremony with her Mother and Father in a beautiful green dress. This is one of the only times she will wear a color other than black or brown and she makes the most of it. She carries an artifact with her, a compact that her Grandfather had given her. She feels so grown up and nervous. Something surprising happens at the Matching ceremony, she is matched with her best friend Xander. It is very unusual for a match to be made with someone you know; but she is thrilled as is Xander. They know each other quite well. Now it will simply be raised to a different degree. She does look at the microchip that they give her in the silver box. It has all the information she would need to know about her match. However, when she first looks at it, Xander disappears and Ky Markham appears. Then, Xander reappears. The Official assigned to her convinces her that her microchip was defective She believes this because she had learned that Ky was an Abberation and would not be matched with anyone. This mistake on the part of the Matching Team, causes Cassia to start paying more attention to Ky. He had been a member of their group since he arrived; but he didn’t engage with anyone well. Now, he seems to be part of the group and accepted by all. He and Cassia are both in the hiking group and begin to get to know each other better. What lies ahead for Xander, Cassia, and Ky? What does the Officials have in mind for them? How are her parents involved? Once Cassia starts breaking the rules, things get complicated. I can hardly wait to read Crossed.

Guilty pleasure

Format: Kindle

- MINOR SPOILERS - First, let me say I'm definitely past the target audience's age. So for me, this was more of some idle mind candy than anything else, and as that's exactly what i got, I quite enjoyed it. I finished it all in one go, so it was interesting enough to hold my interest start to finish. I'm not going to say the plot or characters were mind-blowing or original, but I found Cassia likable and didn't get the same amount of Mary Sue/self-insertion feel as from some other YA lit. I have to admit to having a bit of a crush on Ky, who's smart enough not to want to seem smart. And I am a COMPLETE sucker for love triangles, especially when it's not so clear-cut, like "this guy is horrible to her and this guy is perfect," because where's the dilemma in that? Xander and Ky are both good people who genuinely care about Cassia, and she cares for both of them in turn. I might have liked to learn more about some of her friends. We get to know her family very well, but the book seems to indicate that she has strong bonds with her friends as well. And this is the time in their life when they're beginning to go their separate ways, graduating from school and moving on to careers, so I think there were some missed opportunities there. I'm not a huge fan of books that are specifically written to be series (like the cliffhanger ending here). I'm of the mindset that at least the first book in a series should be able to stand on its own without throwing it in the reader's face that, hey, there's more to read so make sure to buy the next book! I don't mind if a story concludes without having answered all my questions, but ending on a question mark is different from ending on an ellipsis, if that makes sense. As far as the dystopian part goes, once again nothing about it really stuck out to me. There are some interesting ideas in here, like the pills and the Banquets and such. Probably some readers will want to have learned more about the world and heard less about the romance, but I'm a romantic at heart. I also find lengthy world-building passages to be a little self-indulgent and irritating; I'd prefer for the world to unfold bit by bit; and I acknowledge the pace at which it does this will probably be too slow for some. This isn't a high-octane adventure story like The Hunger Games or Divergent. I get the sense that the following two books might be more in that vein, though. I've started on Crossed and, depending on how well I like it, I will probably finish the series. Overall, this is an enjoyable read, but don't go in expecting to be blown away. Nothing about it makes it stand out from the dozens of other dystopian teen lit stories out there. I don't think it'd be fair for me to guess how teen audiences will receive it, as I read virtually no YA lit besides this latest interest. But older readers can still get an afternoon of light reading out of it. And if nothing else, it can be a topic of conversation with younger siblings or children. 3.5/5

Beautifully written dystopia with a softer edge than The Hunger Games

Format: Hardcover

I've had this book sitting on my shelf for quite some time. I started it back in July. I had just finished re-reading and in preparation for . About a quarter of the way through the book I stopped reading. I realized that I was reading it with a violent-out-to-get-you-government filter. And Matched just wasn't doing it for me. So, I put it away for awhile to get in the mood. (I think also some of the hype was getting to me, and there was no way it was going to live up to it). So, during the Christmas/New Years break that I had from work, I picked it up again. And I absolutely loved it. It was different than The Hunger Games series in that it isn't nearly as brutal or bloody. As with most dystopian novels, Cassia's Society is all about control. However, The Society has created an illusion that through their control everyone is living at their highest potential. There is never a need for fear or sadness because everything is so strictly monitored. Their world is not cluttered with information because their books, movies, and songs are carefully selected. Citizen's food is given in specific portions and with nutritional value to optimize the health of every person. And, of course, matches are selected based on the compatibility of each party for maximized happiness. Is Cassia's Society so different from our own? In our efforts to create a healthy society have we overstepped our bounds? I'm thinking of recent lawsuits against McDonalds for causing obesity. Or the laws passed in recent years to ban trans fats from restaurants in California and New York. While I obviously feel that eating healthy is important, at what point do we take away individual freedom and responsibility because "we know better"? One of my favorite parts of the book comes when Cassia realizes that the world in which she lives no longer values creation. Quoting from my uncorrected proof copy: "Standing there looking at my work, however, I realize that all my family has ever done is sort. Never create. My father sorts old artifacts like my grandfather did; my great-grandmother sorted poems. My farmlander grandparents plant seeds and tend crops, but everything they grow has been assigned by the Officials. Just like the things my mother grows at the Aboretum." Now, I've never been one for poetry. I don't know that I have the type of mind that can truly appreciate it. However, I do love music, and books, and the ability that I have to speak my mind however I wish. Without belaboring the point, this book gave me quite a bit to think about. I know many people will like the book for the romance. Frankly, both boys are a great fit for Cassia in different ways, so the love triangle really isn't about pitting one against the other (a la Twilight). Cassia's parents are pretty flat, as are her friends. We don't really get much into the heads of other characters besides Cassia and Xander. I am not entirely sure if that was intentional to show that over time people have really become devoid of original thought. Therefore, count me among the many that will be eagerly awaiting Crossed when it comes out in November.
