How would it feel to have
the government make all your decisions for you? Where you live, who
you marry, your occupation, what you eat, when you die? Pretty much
what you do and when you do it. That's exactly how it is in the world
of Matched. The government controls all aspects of your life.
The main character, Cassia, has grown up in this world being taught
that the government is always right. When she watches her *micro card
with the information about her *match at first, she sees her best best
friend Xander. But for a moment another boy flashes across the
screen. And the strange thing is she knows him too. From that moment
on Cassia struggles with the decision of who was meant to be her
match and who she's going to choose. This book has romance between both Cassia and Xander, and Cassia and Ky as she tries to decide who she wants to choose. Throughout the book Cassia finds
herself disagreeing with the government and how it works. She also
starts to question it's control and power, and begins to rebel in
small ways.
This book is really good. It
seems a lot like the Hunger Games, with similar ideas and storylines.
This book has a theme that I believe everyone needs to hear: stand up
for what you believe in even if it's not popular.
Also, another them that
occurs often throughout the book is to stay determined. You can
accomplish anything you set your mind to if you are determined and
ready to fight for what you believe in.
I think this book was well
written and, overall, the author did a great job portraying the
characters. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance
mixed with dystopia.
* Match- The person that is chosen by the government for someone to marry. In other words a forced husband or wife.
