Jorge Rockzo jorgerozo8681 — Well, to be fair to the book, I heard SO MANY good things about this before I read it. It was really talked up, so like many things, it was good, but not freakishly good. But I did like it. And for the time that it takes to read this book, it is certainly worth it. We are discussing this in a church book review... that should be a good discussion. It has some really good themes in it.

Catherine Tsvetkova catherinetsvetkova — Though the story picks up in the final 50 pages, Matched is a mostly bland novel whose conceits I found to be hugely derivative of both Lois Lowry’s The Giver and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World . As a protagonist, Cassia is frustratingly passive, rarely taking action for herself and instead preferring to hang back and wait for life to happen to her. Exemplary of this is the number of times “not yet” appears in her interior monologue – even when there’s something she wants, she inevitably takes a step back, thinking it’s not time. Not yet. While on the one hand her attitude is a believable symptom of her upbringing in the Society, I can’t help but think she should have been given at least a little more agency, especially if we are to believe that she’s on a path to full-scale rebellion. And then there’s the obligatory romance. Set up as a love triangle, presumably to generate tension, it spits and fizzles but never really sparks. If anything, the relationship between Cassia and Ky is ironically predictable, given that it’s presented as somehow deviant from the Society’s carefully planned Matching procedures. Frankly, I would love to see Ally Condie go out on a limb and redirect Cassia towards Xander, if only to explore the implications of, say: 1. The impossibility of perfection in love, manufactured or organic, and/or 2. The possibility of more than one “true” love appearing in a person’s life, and/or 3. The complication of not getting your first choice, but still loving your second. However, I’m inclined to think that’s unlikely to happen. Ultimately, I’d put Matched is on equal footing with Veronica Roth’s Divergent (2011), which I read earlier this year: both show promise as far as world-building and imagination, but both leave me feeling underwhelmed and wishing for something new and fresh. My guess is this parallel will hold true for others: if you like one, you’ll probably like the other, etc. This is not to say that I won’t read the forthcoming Crossed (2011). I’m a completionist, someone who likes to see a story through to its end, and Matched is only the first part of a projected trilogy. There’s plenty of time and potential for Cassia to grow and take charge, for the romance to be fully realized, and for Condie to stake her claim as a truly original world-builder. I'm just not sure I'll be holding my breath.
