I have to say that I loved this book!
Matched had some semi-familiar themes, but I thought that Condie
delivered them flawlessly. To me it had the same sort of essence as the
Giver did, but for an older audience. I've read several negative reviews about Matched,
comparing it to other dystopian romances and saying how boring and uninspired
it was. I have to disagree. Sure if you read a lot of dystopian
romances you are going to see some recurrent themes, but that doesn't mean it's
not worth reading.
I thought that Condie was a great writer--her
timing was spot-on and her writing style was fluid. It
was definitely a page turner, including love, tension, and just the
right amount of fear to keep you interested. It was also a coming of age
tale, as the heroine Cassia, begins to grow and mature as a young woman and
begins to realize that the perfect society she was born into may not be as
perfect as she'd always thought. I also loved how she showed the
different aspects of the governments control in such detail. I
found that aspect of the book fascinating.
To the naysayers, I may have to assume that
dystopian romances just aren't their thing. But as for myself, I enjoy
dystopian writing immensely, and despite reading many other dystopian
novels I still greatly enjoyed this one. I am still waiting for
the next book to be available at the library, but I'm anxiously looking forward
to finding out what happens next.

ReplyDeleteThis really is such a wonderful resource that youre offering and you give it away for free. I adore seeing internet sites that understand the worth of offering a top quality useful resource for free. It?s the outdated what goes around comes around routine.
