Matched

by Ally Condie

Penguin Young Reader Group | November 30, 2010 | Hardcover

Based on 156 ratings | Rate this

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander''s face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham''s face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The Society tells her it''s a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she''s destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can''t stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society''s infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she''s known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Look for CROSSED, the sequel to MATCHED, in Fall 2011!

Meh....

When I seriously got into reading books im pretty sure that this was the first book i stoped reading because it just wasnt good. I was even 10 pages away from the ending and i just couldnt do it. This book is SOOOOO BORING! I will give Ally some credit that there were a few parts that were good but the majority of the book was awful. I feel that the biggest thing that didn't keep my attention was the pacing of the story. It was too slow. I really wanted to like this book but maybe if the pacing was faster then i maybe would have gotten more out of the book. Unfortunately I give this book a crappy 2/5 stars.
