Matched by Ally Condie
MATCHED
by Allie Condie
Matched by Ally Condie is a futuristic book set in a dystopia world where the government
controls every aspect of your life. They control everything about you and your day, how much
you can exercise, what you will do when you grow up, and who you will marry when you grow
up.
The main character in this book, Cassia, thinks that everything in her life is perfect. She is
healthy and is about to be Matched with the person she is meant to be with forever at her very
own Matching Banquet. She has been looking forward to this day for her whole life, and
everything goes just as she expected and hoped that it would. Her best friend’s face appears on
the matching screen and she knows that they will be together forever.
That is, until another boy’s face appears on the matching screen for a split second.
Another boy that she knows, even. Stricken, Cassia may be forced to make the decision of either
being with Xander, her best friend, or Ky, the mysterious boy that she knows hardly anything
about. Can Cassia make this decision? How much can she rebel against the government before
she is forced to be punished?
Matched is a great book that is suspenseful and very hard to predict. It is an entertaining
read and will leave you wanting more, hoping that there is a sequel to this page-turner. Not only
is it an easy read, but it is also a thought-provoking and a thoroughly enjoyable book.
