I liked how Cassia and Ky's stories progressed in Crossed, and thought the setting was well-described. The love story was sweet but realistically not perfect. Anyone who loves words and art will appreciate the hole that the Society has created in their world. My only complaint is that the ending was...

Review posted here: http://totalteenfiction.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/review-crossed-matched-book-2-by-ally.htmlWow. I've just finished this book and honestly it's blown me away. Crossed picks up first with Ky, then Cassia as we find out where they both are following the ending of Matched. What's great...

I was wary of the premise of the first book (Matched), thinking it would turn into a sappy story full of teenage angst. I couldn't have been more wrong. This author took the idea and turned it into something intelligent, engaging, and entertaining. I even found it believable on several levels. T...

One word pretty much sums up my thoughts-BORING. I think a previous review had it right. This book was all filler and no substance. The chapters were redundant. Words, paintings, Ky, Cassia, the Rising. Although I did like reading Ky's point of view. I also liked some of the smaller characters like...

This book’s ass is grass. And I am the lawnmower.I heard this was a stinker but did I listen and avoid it? Naaaah.This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read in my life. It’s as though the first book in this series was written then there was no clue of what to do next. Yoo hoo, author. Ever hea...

I thought it was one thousand times better than Matched (the first one.) Crossed had like this forbidden romance thing going on (which I love) and we finally got to see more of Ky (who I love) This book met my standards as far as what I expected, exceeded them even. So, yeah. I give this novel 3.5 s...

Review originally posted on Bibliophilia, Please.Crossed by Ally Condie is the highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Matched. In it, Cassia Reyes searches for her lost love in the dystopian, post-apocalyptic future United States. It is told from the alternating viewpoints of Ca...

Condie's writing style is as beautiful as the poems she cites in her novel. However, the poetic prose cannot make up for what is essentially a sagging middle. The plot does not progress enough to hold my interest, and the main characters sound too alike. The first person POV made it even more diffic...

Wenn die Flucht zur nimmer endenden Qual wird Was habe ich mich durch dieses Buch gekämpft. Gefühlte 10 Monate habe ich mich nun der Flucht gewidmet und fühlte mich am Ende wie vor dem Kopf geschlagen. So kam das Ende viel zu abrupt, ich war mental nicht vorbereitet, aber doch erleichtert als meine...
