After coming across various reviews and tweets raving about this series I just had to get my hand on it. I waited for all the three books in the trilogy to be released before starting on it and only recently finished reading them. Cassia is born into a Society where everything is controlled – from t...

Oh my. The premise sounded soooo good! A future where society determines everything...from what you wear, to what you eat, where you work, who you have your children with.....Reading this took longer than expected...frankly because I kept falling asleep. Literally. Not a good sign is it?? The really...

Matched took a very long time to start but once the story really got going, I didn't want to put the book down.The Society controls everything. From what they eat, wear, and what leisure activities they are allowed to pick from to who and when they marry, when and how they die, and how they live. Th...

3.5 stars?There really wasn't a whole lot that happened in this here book. It's like your old, rickety, cataracts-riddled, grandmother's version of Veronica Roth's Insurgent isn't it? I don't normally make book comparisons because I like for books to stand alone but the nature of this plain-clothed,...

I was pleasantly surprised by Matched - I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did and was even more surprised to find that I want to continue on with the series (jus...

A future where everything is determined for you. What job you will do, what you eat, how you spend your leisure time, who you will marry, when you will die.I can't remember the last time that a book depressed me so much.It was all so vague - "The Society" that runs it all, everyone with their colou...

Typically I really enjoy dystopian stories & was intrigued by this one...until it really went nowhere. All the mystery was there - who exactly runs The Society? How did they actually GET to a place where the ultimate Big Brother governs everything down to what they throw away, who they marry, what v...

A typical work of the genre.The world of Matched feels really derivative of the communities in The Giver by Lois Lowry (in a bad way). Also, the love triangle is super boring. Come on, Xander. Get your head in the game.**I'm not particularly pro-Xander, but I'm very pro-not-boring-storytelling.
