PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
All her life, Cassia has never had a choice. The Society dictates everything: when and how to play, where to work, where to live, what to eat and wear, when to die, and most importantly to Cassia as she turns 17, who to marry. When she is Matched with her best friend Xander, things couldn't be more perfect. But why did her neighbor Ky's face show up on her match disk as well? She's told it was an error, but something once noticed clamors for attention, and now Cassia can't look away. Ky has many secrets, but the most stunning to Cassia is something she never suspected still existed: creativity. As they fall in love, Cassia's eyes are opened to the truth of the Society, and she knows she can no longer blindly follow its dictates. But the Society isn't through with them, and things get much, much uglier. Condie's enthralling and twisty dystopian plot is well served by her intriguing characters and fine writing. While the ending is unresolved (the book is first in a trilogy), Cassia's metamorphosis is gripping and satisfying. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
Matched- my review
Matched is probably the best book I have ever read so far. My parents are separated so I have to chop and change to different houses. I had to go to my dads place for the week and I finished the book in 3 days and I couldn’t put it down. I finished it and I didn’t bring the second book to dads and I’m really struggling. I definitely recommend this book to audiences that love I wouldn’t say that it’s a forbiddin romance but it’s along the lines of it.
Blegh
Just a rip off of The Hunger Games and other books. It has very basic writing and the cover is what probably attracts readers.
Ok
It was ok, end was good, but the middle dragged on too much
